Graphic Novel Sampler Book Club: "Chickenpox"

Graphic Novel Sampler Book Club: "Chickenpox"

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 Chickenpox by Remy Lai - a book that captures the hilarious highs and lows of being quarantined with your annoying younger siblings!

Synopsis: "Abby Lai is sick of being trapped at home with her FOUR younger siblings! All big sister Abby wants is to spend more time with her friends, far away from the sticky fingers and snooping eyes of her annoying brothers and sisters. But a case of the chickenpox leaves the Lai kids covered in scratchy red spots and stuck at home together for two weeks of nonstop mayhem. Abby thinks this might be the end... of her sanity. Will the itch to escape her siblings overwhelm Abby, or will she realize being a big sister isn't all bad? Full of heart and high jinks, Chickenpox showcases what gets us through good times and bad: family."

Ages 6-12.
