"The quintessential guide to creating a book club for parents and kids, and raising children into book-loving adults, plus tons of curated book lists"-- Provided by publisher.
In 2008 a group of first grade moms formed a neighborhood book club with their kids. It was a simple, if ambitious idea to cultivate their kids' love of reading as well as their first real friendships-- and gave the parents an excuse to get together. Here they discuss how the book club helps the parents discuss difficult issues, and stay connected, with the kids and the other parents. Information on how to start your own group, as well as curated book-lists for middle-grade and YA readers, are included. -- adapted from back cover
