Welcome!

Hi everyone! Congratulations on starting the first 3rd grade book club at the Davis Academy! We are very excited to start reading with all of you. Here are a few things that you should know before we get started.

1. This is for fun; you do not have to join.
2. You have to read the book to join.
3. We will discuss the book together as a group, so it is best that you read the entire book.
4. It does not cost anything but you should let your parents know.
5. We meet once a month in the media center during lunch. The first day we meet will be Monday, October 24.
6. We provide dessert or a treat that ties in with the book; we usually make you guess so keep that in mind while you are reading. 
7. This blog is for you! Comment on the book and share how you feel about the book with your book club friends.
8. You choose the book we read! Be prepared to vote on a book at the end of each meeting

We usually have 6-10 copies of the book in the media center. We will distribute the books we have and put the others on the waiting list. We strongly encourage you to go to the public library if you don’t get the book right away.

The first book is School of Fear by Gitty Daneshvari.

Four twelve-year-olds are sent to a school to overcome their fears--fear of bugs, water, confined spaces, peanut butter sticking to the roof of their mouth. When they get there, they realize the school is not quite what they thought it would be and they are the only ones there! It's being run by an ex-beauty queen and they're forced to smile and practice proper waving for hours on end! Will they ever overcome their fears? Will they ever escape? Join us and find out more!

If you have any questions, come see us in the media center.

Happy Reading!
