Next Book Club Meeting is Friday, Oct 24 in room C9 right after school. We will be discussing The Raven Boys by Margaret Steifvater.
We need to take a vote on our next book to read. Here is my suggestion.
In the blink of an eye everything changes. Seventeen year-old Mia has no memory of the accident; she can only recall what happened afterwards, watching her own damaged body being taken from the wreck. Little by little she struggles to put together the pieces- to figure out what she has lost, what she has left, and the very difficult choice she must make. Heartwrenchingly beautiful, this will change the way you look at life, love, and family. Now a major motion picture starring Chloe Grace Moretz, Mia's story will stay with you for a long, long time.

This movie looks great...I want to read the book first though.
