Thanks to everyone who came to the meeting this morning to discuss The Thief Lord. It was fun to watch a clip from the movie and see the characters in action. The movie is available at the public library if you want to see the whole thing.
For next month, we are doing a book chat. Choose any book by any author to read for our meeting on February 8. Bring the book with you to the meeting and be ready to share a little bit about the novel. We will all get some great ideas for new books to read!
Until then, happy reading!
