We would like to invite all parents to join a book club to explore quality literature in English. A book club is a group of people who meet regularly to discuss a particular title all members have read. The discussion may center on the characters, the plot, the themes and the reactions of the book club members.
Our first book will be Girl in Translation by Jean Kwok. This is the story of a Chinese American girl who is an excellent student during the day and a sweatshop girl at night. She is caught between the culture of her American high school and her mother’s culture. It promises to be a great read and one that will spark interesting discussions. This is also a Panda Book for Mature Readers this year.
We have one copy of the book in the library. It was for sale at this week’s book fair. See the registration form for online bookstores where you can purchase the book. You can also choose to have us purchase the book for you. The price will be around 200RMB. If you want us to purchase the book for you, please come to the library or send the money with your child so that we can place the order.
As this is our first book club meeting, we give you the chance to choose the day and time. Please fill out the form below to register. The deadline for registration and book purchase request is January 13.
