Tween Book Club Selection for September

Raina is just your average sixth-grader: she loves goofing around with her friends and she's coping with her inevitable new set of braces in the coming weeks.  However, her life takes a turn when she loses a foot race after Girl Scouts and falls right on her face!  Now on top of navigating the uncertain waters of middle school, she has to contend with surgery, headgear, and a new wonky smile.

Telgemeier's semi-autobiographical tale is one that nearly every one can relate to: from relationship woes and frenemies, Raina learns all about growing and up the drama of wanting to fit in.

Join the Tween Book Club on Sept. 25 at 4 p.m. for snacks and discussion revolving around Raina Telgemeier's graphic novel Smile.  

We will also be selecting our next month's book, so come armed with suggestions.
