Welcome to Family Book Club! This is an exciting club for families who love to read and is appropriate for ages 8-15. The books chosen are always within the third to sixth grade level but both younger and older kids have enjoyed them! If your child is younger, I encourage the family to read the book aloud together or listen to the audiobook (if available)!
This month we are reading "Unusual Chickens for the Exceptional Poultry Farmer" by Kelly Jones. City girl Sophie has no idea what to do when her family moves to a farm they have inherited. Soon things get stranger when she realizes the chickens have superpowers! When a local farmer finds out what the chickens can do and tries to steal them, it’s up to Sophie to keep them safe! Genre: FANTASY.
Chapters 10 (June 14, 2014) – 18 (June 18, 2014)!
1. Do you think the woman from Briar Farm really lost her chickens or do you think she is after Henrietta for a reason?
2. Agnes, from Redwood Farm, has told Sophie that Henrietta was her Uncle Jim’s chicken. She also said there are more. Where do you think they went and do you think they’ll come back?
3. Have you ever begged your parents for a pet? What did they say?
4. What do you think Ms. Griegson was doing with that hawk/rooster?
Next week read chapters 19 (June 18, 2014 later) – 27 (June 26, 2014 to Mr. Brown)!
