Tweens Graphic Novel Club is a book club for tweens who love graphic novels! Come talk about our book of the month with friends and do fun activities that relate to the book! This month's book: "Twelve-year-old Cici has just moved from Taiwan to Seattle, and the only thing she wants more than to fit in at her new school is to celebrate her grandmother, A-má’s, seventieth birthday together. Since she can’t go to A-má, Cici cooks up a plan to bring A-má to her by winning the grand prize in a kids’ cooking contest to pay for A-má’s plane ticket! There’s just one problem: Cici only knows how to cook Taiwanese food. And after her pickled cucumber debacle at lunch, she’s determined to channel her inner Julia Child. Can Cici find a winning recipe to reunite with A-má, a way to fit in with her new friends, and somehow find herself too?" - Description provided by Goodreads. Prefer an eBook? Search for it HERE. This program is recommended for grades 4-8.
