Information on Blogger's Book Club


Each month I will choose a young adult novel to read.  I'll set a schedule for reading and post discussion questions on this page.  Any students who would like to read the book that month can comment on this page.  We will wrap up monthly blogger's book club with a fun activity at school.  All are encouraged and welcome to join :)

If anyone has suggestions for book club be sure to drop me a note on my blog or in my mailbox at school!

October's Book:  

A Long Walk to Water 

A Long Walk to Water begins as two stories, told in alternating sections, about a girl in Sudan in 2008 and a boy in Sudan in 1985. The girl, Nya, is fetching water from a pond that is two hours’ walk from her home: she makes two trips to the pond every day. The boy, Salva, becomes one of the "lost boys" of Sudan, refugees who cover the African continent on foot as they search for their families and for a safe place to stay. Enduring every hardship from loneliness to attack by armed rebels to contact with killer lions and crocodiles, Salva is a survivor, and his story goes on to intersect with Nya’s in an astonishing and moving way.
