READING TOGETHER is the quintessential guide for parents interested in starting a book club with their kids. Written by a group of moms and their now-grown children, who started meeting while the kids were in first grade, this how-to book shares the dos and don'ts they learned over more than 100 meetings and 100 books. Brimming with insight and inspiration, READING TOGETHER includes the details of organizing and structuring meetings, tips on finding diverse books and choosing titles that spur discussion, common challenges and how to overcome them, and more, as well as sidebars throughout where the children share anecdotes in their own voices. Also included are plenty of curated booklists with brilliant recommendations for middle grade and YA readers across genres, from sci-fi to mystery, adventure, graphic novels, and more. In an inviting, family-friendly package filled with adorable illustrations, this book is a go-to gift and self-buy for bookish parents who hope to raise a reader and connect with their community through the magic of books.
The kids: Dominic de Bettencourt is studying computer science at UC Berkeley; Luci Doherty is studying sports statistics at Northwestern University; Noah Brown is studying jazz composition and atmospheric science at the University of Washington; Owen Lowe-Rogstad is studying film and political science at the University of Oregon; and Ronan McCann is studying mathematics at Colorado College.
The moms: Ann Delehanty is a professor at Reed College; Kristin Doherty is a social worker; Lissa Kaufman is a lawyer; Dana Lowe-Rogstad is a former teacher now working at a creative agency; and Michelle McCann is an award-winning children's book author and editor.
Together they created a book group that met every month for 11 years until the kids went off to college. All of the authors live in Portland, Oregon.
Liz Kay is an Illustrator based in West Yorkshire, UK.
