Mmm...

In honor of the book Drums, Girls, and Dangerous Pie, we held our own pie eating contest. (How could we not?) Three brave, or maybe just hungry, kids stepped up in the seventh and eighth grade group to compete. Although the girls made a great effort, Dominic and Chad had no trouble defeating the girls by practically licking their pie plates clean after only ONE MINUTE! The champions were awarded a lovely t-shirt. :)

After the pie eating contest, everyone got to enjoy a slice of delicious pie. But don't worry, we didn't just eat the whole time. We discussed the humorous, yet sad, novel, and we also took part in a Name That Tune Contest since the main character of the book loved music so much.  It was an awesome way to end the Nook year. However, we're not really done. Nooksters wanted to keep meeting during the summer, so we will have meetings in June and July as well.

The next book for seventh and eighth graders is Freedom Writers Diary by Erin Gruwell. We will meet on Thursday, June 9 from 3:00 to 5:30. **Note time change. Fifth and sixth graders will be reading The Boy in the Striped Pajamas by John Boyne. We will meet on Thursday, June 16 from 3:30 to 5:30. Books for the summer Nook Club were made available through inter-library loan, so please be EXTRA careful with the books and return them in a timely fashion.
