Welcome!
Kick-off the school year, by joining the Book Club! We just started reading the Book Thief by Markus Zusak!
"The extraordinary #1 New York Times bestseller that is now a major motion picture, Markus Zusak’s unforgettable story is about the ability of books to feed the soul. It is 1939. Nazi Germany. The country is holding its breath. Death has never been busier, and will become busier still. Liesel Meminger is a foster girl living outside of Munich, who scratches out a meager existence for herself by stealing when she encounters something she can’t resist–books. With the help of her accordion-playing foster father, she learns to read and shares her stolen books with her neighbors during bombing raids as well as with the Jewish man hidden in her basement. In superbly crafted writing that burns with intensity, award-winning author Markus Zusak, author of I Am the Messenger, has given us one of the most enduring stories of our time" (Penguin Random House, 2017). What do we do in the Book Club? We read the book, hold weekly discussions (both in-person and virtually), and when we are finished reading, we enjoy pizza and popcorn together! Please click here to preview the FOX 21st Century movie, which is based upon the book. For more information, please email [email protected].
