December Online Book Club

Updated: Nov 30, 2020

Instead of having in-library parties this month we’re keeping on with our online do-it-at-home book clubs for all ages! The best part? Everyone who participates gets to keep the book!


We have four age categories: grades K-3, grades 3-5, grades 5-8, and grades 9-12. There’s some overlap so kids can choose which book they’d prefer to read! Every book will come with a blank review form, a few questions you can think about, and some small crafts or activities that tie into the book.


We will have a post up for each book on this website 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 or post here, fill out the included review sheets and get them back to the library, and we can post your comments for you! Even better, everyone who either posts on our site or brings back anything included with the book even if it’s just a picture of the activity you did will also get a small prize at the library!


All we ask is that you read the book: do as much or as little of the rest of it as you want!


Grades K - 3: "Young Cam Jansen and the Ice Skate Mystery" by David A. Adler

“Cam Jansen and her friend Eric are going ice skating. When Eric loses the locker key, Cam's amazing memory clicks into action to find it in this addition to the popular Young Cam Jansen series.”


Grades 3 - 5: "Lily to the Rescue" by W. Bruce Cameron

Lily lives with her girl, Maggie Rose. Once a stray, Lily was rescued by the kind people at the animal shelter run by Maggie Rose’s mom. Now she has a very important purpose: to rescue other animals in trouble. In Lily to the Rescue, Lily meets a crow with a broken wing, so she and Maggie Rose take the crow home to Mom. But when the crow starts to become too tame, some unexpected problems arise. It’s Lily to the rescue!”


Grades 5 - 8: "Artemis Fowl" by Eoin Colfer

“Twelve-year-old Artemis Fowl is a millionaire, a genius, and above all, a criminal mastermind. But even Artemis doesn't know what he's taken on when he kidnaps a fairy, Captain Holly Short of the LEPrecon Unit. These aren't the fairies of bedtime stories — they're dangerous! Full of unexpected twists and turns, Artemis Fowl is a riveting, magical adventure.”


Grades 9 - 12: "A Curse So Dark and Lonely" by Brigid Kemmerer

Cursed by a powerful enchantress to repeat the autumn of his eighteenth year, Prince Rhen, the heir of Emberfall, thought he could be saved easily if a girl fell for him. But that was before he turned into a vicious beast hell-bent on destruction. Before he destroyed his castle, his family, and every last shred of hope. Nothing has ever been easy for Harper. With her father long gone, her mother dying, and her brother constantly underestimating her because of her cerebral palsy, Harper learned to be tough enough to survive. When she tries to save a stranger on the streets of Washington, DC, she's pulled into a magical world. Harper doesn't know where she is or what to believe. A prince? A curse? A monster? As she spends time with Rhen in this enchanted land, she begins to understand what's at stake. And as Rhen realizes Harper is not just another girl to charm, his hope comes flooding back. But powerful forces are standing against Emberfall . . . and it will take more than a broken curse to save Harper, Rhen, and his people from utter ruin.”
