Tween Graphic Novel Club

Event Details

 November's Graphic Novel: Stepping Stones by Lucy Knisley 

Jen did not want to leave the city. She did not want to move to a farm with her mom and her mom’s new boyfriend, Walter. She did not want to leave her friends and her dad.

Most of all, Jen did not want to get new “sisters,” Andy and Reese.

As if learning new chores on Peapod Farm wasn’t hard enough, having to deal with perfect-at-everything Andy might be the last straw for Jen. Besides cleaning the chicken coop, trying to keep up with the customers at the local farmers’ market, and missing her old life, Jen has to deal with her own insecurities about this new family . . . and where she fits in.

We will discuss the book, do an activity, and have snacks. Register and pick up a copy of the book to check out at the children’s department desk. Grades 4-7.
