For June's Book Club, we read the book Winterborne Home for Vengeance and Valor by Ally Carter. Nicole, Natalie, and Julianna were present. We discussed the following:
1. How do April, Violet, and Tim arrive at Winterborne House? Who are the other children already in residence at Winterborne House?
2. Who are Ms. Nelson and Smithers, and how are they connected to Winterborne House?
3. Who are the Winterbournes? Who is Gabriel?
4. What role does Uncle Evert play in the story?
5. How does April find Gabriel Winterborne? How would you describe their relationship?
6. What do the contents of Ms. Nelson's notebook reveal?
7. With all its twists and turns, it is sometimes unclear who to trust in this novel. Who are the protagonists? Who are the antagonists? Who were you rooting for?
8. What is the tone of the narrative?
9. What is the significance of the key April wears around her neck?
10. How does the novel end? Will you read book 2?
Rating: on a scale of 1—5 (1 is the lowest; 5 is the highest), what do you rate this book?
—10 out of 5!
—4.5
—2.5
For July's Book Club, we will be reading:
| "Twelve-year-old Crow has lived her entire life on a tiny, isolated piece of the starkly beautiful Elizabeth Islands in Massachusetts. Abandoned and set adrift in a small boat when she was just hours old, Crow's only companions are Osh, the man who rescued and raised her, and Miss Maggie, their fierce and affectionate neighbor across the sandbar. Crow has always been curious about the world around her, but it isn't until the night a mysterious fire appears across the water that the unspoken question of her own history forms in her heart. Soon, an unstoppable chain of events is triggered, leading Crow down a path of discovery and danger." — summary |
We will be meeting on Wednesday, July 21 at 3:30 PM. Book Club will be held outside on the Swinburne Street side. In the case of inclement weather, Book Club will move indoors. Participants will be notified by noon, the day of, if the location changes.
