Graphic Novel Sampler Book Club: "The Cartoonist's Club"

Do you love graphic novels? Looking for your new favorite read? Then this is the book club for you!

Get a taste of a new and exciting graphic novel - each participant will get a copy of that week's title, and we will read together for 45 minutes. The last 15 minutes are set aside for discussion, and a chance to check out a copy of the book to take home.

This week's graphic novel is The Cartoonist's Club - the newest book by Raina Telgemeier, the author of Guts, Smile, Drama, and Sisters!

Synopsis: "Welcome to the club! Makayla is bursting with ideas but doesn't know how to make them into a story. Howard loves to draw, but he struggles to come up with ideas and his dad thinks comics are a waste of time. Lynda constantly draws in her sketchbook but keeps focusing on what she feels are mistakes, and Art simply loves being creative and is excited to try something new. They come together to form The Cartoonists Club, where kids can learn about making comics and use their creativity and imagination for their own storytelling adventures!"

Ages 6-12.
