Our 2nd Family Book Club meeting is next Thursday 6 June, from 6:30-7:30pm in our library. We will be hearing from the author of Take Me To Your Leader, Leonie Agnew, having a chat about what we thought of the book, then launching into our next book, Brown Bird by Jane Arthur.

If you would like to join us for our new book please come along. Here is the synopsis of the book:

Eleven-year-old Rebecca tries to make herself invisible so people won’t call her weird. Resigned to spending the holidays by herself in a new neighbourhood while her mum works long hours at the supermarket, she meets Chester, who has come to stay for the summer. He is loud and fun and full of ideas. But will Rebecca be able to cope with being taken so far from her quiet comfort zone?

Rebecca is about to find out that she can be braver than she ever thought possible . . .

A gentle, warm-hearted novel about leaving the comfort of your shell and making friends, for fans of Judy Blume, Jacqueline Wilson, Kate DiCamillo and Kate de Goldi.
