League of Book Lovers, Wed., Sept. 25, 6:30 pm

Join us for the first book club of the school year for Juvenile Fiction readers! We will discuss award-winning novel Front Desk by Kelly Yang.

Wednesday, September 25
6:30 – 7:30 pm

Recent immigrants from China and desperate for work and money, ten-year-old Mia Tang’s parents take a job managing a rundown motel in Southern California, even though the owner, Mr. Yao is a nasty skinflint who exploits them; while her mother (who was an engineer in China) does the cleaning, Mia works the front desk and tries to cope with demanding customers and other recent immigrants–not to mention being only one of two Chinese in her fifth grade class, the other being Mr. Yao’s son, Jason.

Check out a copy of the book at our Circulation Desk any time before the event. The group will also enjoy a book-related craft or activity.

This book club recommended for students in grades 4-6.
