Hey, kids!
Pam van Hylckama Vlieg , our Bookalicio.us Blogger (she blogs about books for teens), is heading up a book club just for you! If you like to read and can't wait to tell other people about what you've just read, this is your chance! You'll discover books you didn't know were out there, or maybe pick up that book you've heard great things about and haven't gotten to.
You'll meet every two weeks (first & third Saturdays) and sometimes have access to Advanced Readers Copies (ARCs) - sample copies of books the publisher provides bookstore staff. You'll also get a 20% discount off of book club titles, and have exclusive chances to meet authors.
Come to this first meeting and help set the course for future meetings.
The book for this first meeting is The Familiars
Ages 8 - 12
R.S.V.P. requested but not required. (Just come!)

In what they're sure will be the longest and most terrifying six weeks of their lives, the foursome must face their phobias head-on as students of the exclusive and elusive school. There's no homework or exams. But if they don't conquer their fears by the end of the summer, they'll find out just how frightening failing can be.

Pick for October 16 ~
Things in the New England town of Ashcrumb are getting weird. Or just weirder. Misty Gordon, whose antique-dealing parents drive a van that says “D.E.A.D.” on the side (for “Deceased’s Estate and Antique Dealer”), is accustomed to weird.
One day, when accompanying her father to the estate of a recently departed clairvoyant, Misty discovers a notebook and a pair of eyeglasses that enable her to see ghosts! And solve mysteries. With the help of her new powers and her best friend, Yoshi, Misty learns that her hometown was settled not by respectable colonists but by pirates! And the ghosts of the pirates are returning to reclaim a dangerous, powerful treasure they lost centuries ago. Who will find it first, Misty or the pirates?
