We'll be reading Howl's Moving Castle by Diana Wynne Jones! Please have the book read before coming to the meeting.
After we talk about the book, we'll be watching the movie, and then discussing how the book and the movie are similar and different.
"Sophie has the great misfortune of being the eldest of three daughters, destined to fail miserably should she ever leave home to seek her fate. But when she unwittingly attracts the ire of the Witch of the Waste, Sophie finds herself under a horrid spell that transforms her into an old lady. Her only chance at breaking it lies in the ever-moving castle in the hills: the Wizard Howl's castle.
To untangle the enchantment, Sophie must handle the heartless Howl, strike a bargain with a fire demon, and meet the Witch of the Waste head-on. Along the way, she discovers that there's far more to Howl—and herself—than first meets the eye."

The SDCL Young Readers Book Club is primarily a group for 3rd thru 5th-grade students who enjoy discussing great books! The group is open to other interested kids from other grades and ages.
Each month, we'll pick a different book to read and then get together to discuss it. By getting together like this, we foster a love of reading and expand on reading comprehension. This is intended to be a safe space and negative comments and actions will not be tolerated.
The group is through the Soddy-Daisy Community Library and is hosted/administered by Kelly Flemings, Founder and Education/Outreach Coordinator. Please feel free to contact us at any time if you have any questions or concerns.
