Children ages 9-12 are welcome to join our Tween Book Club on the second Wednesday of each month. This month we will be reading Turtle in Paradise by Jennifer L. Holm. Registration is required. Register and pick up your free copy of the book at the Youth Services Reference Desk. Participants are welcome to bring suggestions for future books to read together! Refreshments will be served.

About the book ... "Life isn't like the movies, and 11-year-old Turtle is no Shirley Temple. She's smart and tough and has seen enough of the world not to expect a Hollywood ending. After all, it's 1935, and jobs and money and sometimes even dreams are scarce. But when Turtle's mama gets a job housekeeping for a lady who doesn't like kids, Turtle is forced to head off to Key West, Florida, to stay with relatives she's never met." - Scholastic Reviews
