June's Selection:
Holes
by Louis Sachar
Meeting Date: Saturday, June 27th, 3pm

**This meeting will be followed by our end of year Summer Book Bash from 4-7 pm**

"Stanley Yelnats was given a choice. The judge said, "You may go to jail, or you may go to Camp Green Lake." Stanley was from a poor family. He had never been to camp before"

And so, Stanley Yelnats seems set to serve an easy sentence, which is only fair because he is as innocent as you or me. But Stanley is not going where he thinks he is. Camp Green Lake is like no other camp anywhere. It is a bizarre, almost otherworldly place that has no lake and nothing that is green. Nor is it a camp, at least not the kind of camp kids look forward to in the summertime. It is a place that once held "the largest lake in Texas," but today it is only a scorching desert wasteland, dotted with countless holes dug by the boys who live at the camp.

Next Meeting Date: Saturday, September 26th, 3pm

Along with all the other delicious books our members will read this summer, we are recommending “Writing Magic: Creating Stories That Fly” by Gail Carson Levine (author of Dave at Night) At our September meeting members will swap and share their own personal fiction writing.
