Chapter Chatter - Book Club for 5th - 8th Graders

Join us for a meeting of Chapter Chatter -- our book club for 5th - 8th graders on Wednesday, October 21st at 5:00 pm. We will end about 5:45 to allow time to get picked up since the library closes at 6. October Book - The Witch of Blackbird Pond by Elizabeth George Speare Orphaned Kit Tyler knows, as she gazes for the first time at the cold, bleak shores of Connecticut Colony, that her new home will never be like the shimmering Caribbean island she left behind. In her relatives' stern Puritan community, she feels like a tropical bird that has flown to the wrong part of the world, a bird that is now caged and lonely. The only place where Kit feels completely free is in the meadows, where she enjoys the company of the old Quaker woman known as the Witch of Blackbird Pond, and on occasion, her young sailor friend Nat. But when Kit's friendship with the witch is discovered, Kit is faced with suspicion, fear, and anger. She herself is accused of witchcraft! For this meeting we will read Chapter 12 through the End (or pages 122 - End). This group is facilitated by Lynn Krause and Sarah Behrendt. Questions contact the Library or Mrs. Krause at Wabasso Public School.
