Join Pageturners at The Little Bookshop!
Thursday 3 December, 4:30 - 5:30 pm, £15/ticket (includes book, festive refreshments and free raffle entry)
If you enjoy reading and discovering new authors, why not join us and become a Pageturner too? We are a fun, interactive book group for 8-11 year-olds which meets at The Little Bookshop on a monthly basis.
Our read for December is Eloise Williams’ uplifting novel, The Library of Lost Stories. Our adult book group will be reading the same book this month – it will be interesting to hear their perspectives (I wonder when they last read a children’s book?).
Set in a small Welsh village in the Valleys in 1976, this novel brings to life the hardship Noni faces as a young carer after her mother’s death. She and her dad have no money left and the bailiffs are a constant threat. When she discovers a derelict mobile library van parked in scary Mrs. Williams’ drive, Noni believes it’s the perfect fixer-upper project that might just get her dad out of bed and back to life. Noni is prickly and opinionated but the project also forces her to break out of her own isolation and make a few friends. Will the mobile library ever get back on the road again?
Ask an adult to book you a place, online or at the bookshop. Adults should be present at the session but are not required to pay for a ticket (max. one adult per child).
