VILLAGE BOOKS JUNIOR BOOK CLUB GROUP 4

Once again mayhem erupted in the calm of the bookshop with the final meeting of the Junior Book Club Group 4 last Thursday, 18th November.

They dissected Kensuke's Kingdom by Michael Morpurgo, a classic adventure story of a child lost at sea. It was greatly enjoyed by all.

Group 4 chose the following to read over the Christmas break:

Age 14 - An Irish Boy Soldier by Geert Spillebeen
Dragon Rider by Cornelia Funke
Wilderness by Roddy Doyle

VILLAGE BOOKS Junior Book Club Group 4 will next meet on 27th January 2011.

VILLAGE BOOKS BOOK CLUB

Crazy in Alabama by Mark Childress was the latest book up for discussion among the VILLAGE BOOKS Book Club. It received a mixed bag of reviews, some finding it hilarious while others completely disagreed but found the more serious side to the book very interesting.

Orpheus Lost by Janette Turner Hospital is up for the next meeting that will take place on Tuesday 7th December at 6.30pm.

JUNIOR BOOK CLUB GROUP 3

VILLAGE BOOKS Junior Book Club Group 3 had their final meeting of the year last Thursday, November 11th.

They discussed The Death Defying Pepper Roux by Geraldine McCaughrean and The Dragonfly Pool by Eva Ibbotson.  To put it mildly, The Death Defying Pepper Roux did not go down well! On the other hand, The Dragonfly Pool could not have gotten better reviews. The Dragonfly Pool tops the favourite list of books this group has read to date.


They chose the following to read over the Christmas break:

Skulduggery Pleasant by Derek Landy
Saving Mississippi by Cornelia Funke
Ruby Holler by Sharon Creech

JUNIOR BOOK CLUB GROUP 1

VILLAGE BOOKS Junior Book Club Group 1 had their final meeting of the year last Thursday, 4th November. The books up for discussion were Three Cups of Tea by Greg Mortenson and The Death Defying Pepper Roux by Geraldine McCaughrean.

Both books were enjoyed by their readers. Some found The Death Defying Pepper Roux a little difficult to get into but once there, it was a rollercoaster of a story. Three Cups of Tea proved to be of great interest and many enjoyed learning about life in Pakistan.

Group 1 chose three books to devour over the Christmas break;

Age 14 An Irish Boy Soldier by Geert Spillebeen
Dragon Rider by Cornelia Funke
Kensuke’s Kingdom by Michael Morpurgo.

VILLAGE BOOKS Junior Book Club Group 1 is next due to meet on the 13th January 2011.
