Virtual Book Club: Escaping the Giant Wave for grades 5-8

Check out our virtual do-it-at-home book clubs! The best part? Everyone who participates gets to keep the book!

There are four age categories: grades K-3, grades 3-5, grades 5-8, and grades 9-12. There’s some overlap so you can choose which book you’d prefer to read. Every book comes with links to explore, a blank review form, a few questions, and some activities. Each book will have a post on www.splyouth.org for anyone who wants to discuss the book or comment on any of the questions or activities.

If you’d prefer not to go online, fill out the included sheet(s) and get them back to the library. Everyone who either posts on our site or brings back anything included with the book will get a small prize. Supplies are limited, so grab yours today!
