This book club for students age 9-12. It is free to attend but requires registering via the google form as spots are limited to 20.

Our hope is to find one or more sponsors to purchase a copy of the book for each child that registers, to keep. If that sponsorship does not happen, there are multiple copies available via multiple libraries to check out by using your Morton Public Library card.
