YOUTH BOOK CLUBS

Check out our do-it-at-home book clubs for all ages. All we ask is that you read the book: do as much or as little of the rest of it as you want. No matter how much you do, the book is yours! There are four age categories: grades K-3, grades 3-5, grades 5-8, and grades 9-12. Every book comes with links to explore, a review form, a few questions, and some activities that tie into the book. We will have posts on www.splyouth.org for anyone who wants to discuss the books or comment on the activities. Supplies are limited, so grab yours today!

Grades K-3: What If You Had T. Rex Teeth!? And Other Dinosaur Parts by Sandra Markle

“From a Velociraptor’s sharp sickle-tipped toes to a T. rex’s giant curved teeth, and from the body armor of an Ankylosaurus to the long neck of a Brachiosaurus – discover what it would be like if you had one of these wild dinosaur parts!” (WIYHTRT!?, 2018). 

Grades 3-5: A Dog’s Porpoise by M. C. Ross

“When a bad storm throws Bangor, a harbor porpoise, off course, he finds himself all alone in the harbor of Ogunquit, Maine. And he’s not the only one who’s lost in these wayward waters: Lars, a rowdy pup, is knocked overboard a nearby boat. With the help of a girl named Natalie, Bangor rescues Lars, and they become fast friends. But not everyone in the small town approves of this unlikely friendship. Some find Lars a nuisance, and it isn’t safe for Bangor to remain in the harbor. It’s up to Natalie to convince the town to locate Bangor’s pod and return him safely home – even if it means saying goodbye to her new friend,” (ADP, 2019).

Grades 5-8: Surviving Sharks and Other Dangerous Creatures by Allan Zullo

“Can you imagine getting bit by a shark? Or having an elephant try to trample you? Or running for your life from a cougar? Read all about kids just like you who survived attacks from dangerous animals!” (SSaODC, 2014).

Grades 9-12: Prisoner B-3087 by Alan Gratz

“10 concentration camps. 10 different places where you are starved, tortured, and worked mercilessly. It’s something no one could imagine surviving. But it is what Yanek Gruener has to face. As a Jewish boy in 1930s Poland, Yanek is at the mercy of the Nazis who have taken over. Everything he has, and everyone he loves, have been snatched brutally from him. And then Yanek himself is taken prisoner, his arm tattooed with the words PRISONER B-3087. He is forced from one nightmarish concentration camp to another, as World War II rages all around him. He encounters evil he could have never imagined, but also sees surprising glimpses of hope amid the horror… Based on an astonishing true story,” (PB-3087, 2014).
