Thursday 4/10 @ 5pm

Grades 3-5 are welcome to join us to talk about Stowaway by John David Anderson. This Massachusetts Children's Book Award nominee is a coming-of-age space odyssey. Leo and his father must leave everything they have ever known and move on board a spacecraft run by the Coalition. But, when his father is kidnapped it is up to Leo to save him and the rest of the galaxy. We'll discuss the book and have some scratch art fun. Refreshments will be provided.
