Our first Howard County Middle School Book Club meeting was today at The Miller Library. We discussed Jordan Sonnenblick's Drums, Girls, and Dangerous Pies. Using humor to deal with very serious issues, Sonnenblick brings 8th grade, Steven Alper, and the earth shattering news of his five-year old brother, Jeffrey's diagnosis of leukemia to relatable terms for young adult readers.
Our in school discussion of the book became deeply personal and involvement students sharing many touching moments. The countywide book club was a lively meeting with Clarksville Middle, Glenwood Middle, and Hammond Middle leading group discussions. We had five of our very own DMS students attend tonight. As always, it was so much fun talking with students who love reading and most everyone enjoyed the book tremendously.
