Raving Readers will meet one last time for this year on Tuesday, April 21, from 6 - 7:30 PM.
Read Iron Thunder by Avi to prepare for this meeting. Young Tom Carroll finds himself working in the Brooklyn Shipyards after his father's death in a Civil War battle. In this demanding new job, Tom learns a lot about ship building... particularly the new iron sided ship the Union is building to defeat the Confederacy's Merrimack! But he also learns about war, loyalty, and survival. This fascinating book is punctuated by black and white illustrations, including contemporary maps and photographs.
Raving Readers will return in September . In the meantime, check the Plum Jam for other great programs coming this summer!
