John Muir's 2013 Lunchtime Book Club gets under way!

We are reading Patricia McKissack's A Friendship For Today. A work of historical fiction that has many twists and turns surrounding the life of our 12 year old main character, Rosemary, in Missouri in the year 1955, as she gets ready to start sixth grade in an integrated school for the first time.

After we got done discussing separate but equal, the Cold War, polio, first impressions and various types of prejudice, the books were handed out and the first assignment was to read to page 62 for next week.

 Here's some pictures of our readers getting acquainted with the story:

See you next Wednesday.
