Fourth and Fifth Graders

Each month we'll have a book discussion, eat great snacks, and do a fun book-related activity together. This month we're talking about The Year I Flew Away by Marie Arnold. Participants can pick up a free copy of the book at the Library, while supplies last. Fourth and fifth graders only. This event is currently ready for sign-up, register here!

What’s this book about? After moving from her home in Haiti to her uncle's home in Brooklyn, ten-year-old Gabrielle, feeling bullied and out of place, makes a misguided deal with a witch!
