For our final boys book club of the year, we are ending it on a great note! We will be reading Georgia Book Award nominee
The Mostly True Adventures of Homer P. Figg by Rodman Philbrick. From Amazon.com, "In this Newbery Honor-winning page-turner, twelve-year-old orphan Homer runs away from Pine Swamp, Maine, to find his older brother, Harold, who has been sold into the Union Army. With laugh-aloud humor, Homer outwits and outruns a colorful assortment of civil War-era thieves, scallywags, and spies as he makes his way south, following clues that finally lead him to Gettysburg. Even through a hail of gunfire, Homer never loses heart--but will he find his brother? Or will it be too late?
With engaging wit and comical repartee reminiscent of Mark Twain, master storyteller Rodman Philbrick introduces us to the unforgettable character of Homer in his latest groundbreaking novel".
We are going to meet on Monday, April 23rd during lunch so please come having completed the book and don't forget to bring your lunch. I will provide a tasty treat. Looking forward to it!
Happy Reading,
Mrs. Brown
