Program Description

Event Details

For ages 8 - 11. Registration begins 7/22. Scary isn’t just for Halloween! We will discuss a scary book, plus enjoy activities and snacks related to the book.  In August we will discuss The Nest by Kenneth Oppel. Copies will be available approximately one month before the discussion. Stop by the children's desk to pick one up. 

"For some kids summer is a sun-soaked season of fun. But for Steve, it’s just another season of worries. Worries about his sick newborn baby brother who is fighting to survive, worries about his parents who are struggling to cope, even worries about the wasp’s nest looming ominously from the eaves. So when a mysterious wasp queen invades his dreams, offering to “fix” the baby, Steve thinks his prayers have been answered.
All he has to do is say “Yes.” But “yes” is a powerful word. It is also a dangerous one. And once it is uttered, can it be taken back?"
