Books For Boys & Great Reads for Girls

Meet Princess Cimorene—a princess who refuses to be proper. She’s everything a princess shouldn’t be: headstrong, tomboyish, smart… And bored. So bored she runs away to live with Kazul, one of the most powerful dragons around! Soon, she’s caught up with a witch, a jinn, a death-dealing talking bird, a stone prince, and some oily wizards.

Join us on Thursday, May 1, at 6:30 PM in the Community Room as we discuss Patricia C. Wrede’s Dealing with Dragons! This will be our last book club for readers ages 8-11 and their accompanying adults before Summer Reading. See you there!
