Waiting for Harry Potter 7

The Mother/Daughter Book Discussion Group went to see Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix at the movie theatre. We met at a group member's house to discuss the film and compare it to the book.

The concensus was that this was the best movie adaptation yet. Many details were missing, but, it covered the main points of the book. We felt it would be confusing for someone who hadn't read the books first. The main gripe among the girls was that Harry wasn't angry enough in the film.

Our group meets next month on the 18th for our Annual Sleepover in the library to discuss Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows. We can't wait!!

Dogs Rule!

This summer we've read historical fiction, fantasy, and even an Agatha Christie mystery! Lot's of great, diverse readers in this group...continuing this trend, the title for the October meeting is A Dog's Life: The Autobiography of a Stray.

Newbery Honor author Ann Martin imagines how a stray separated from its family as a puppy finds its way in the world. Readers who like animal survival stories will enjoy the convincing animal perspectives.

A good contrast title is Avi's The Good Dog. This story with a canine point of view will delight dog lovers.

Please feel free to join us on Wednesday evening, October 11th at 6:30 in the Children's Room to discuss the book, or post a comment online to this site.
