Intergenerational Book Club for 6th-8th Grades--Virtual

The Lost Year by Katherine Marsh

Students in grades 6-8 are invited to a 4 week virtual intergenerational book group held in association with the JCA Heyman Interages Center. SSL hours will be earned if requirements are met.

Create connections with older adults from the Jewish Council for Aging's Heyman Interages Center through a multiweek discussion of The Lost Year by Katherine Marsh. Participants can earn 8 SSL hours if they attend all 4 sessions, participate in the discussion, and present and submit a short Reflection piece. Participants will use the book to foster discussion, develop book evaluation skills, and comfort speaking with non-family member adults.

The Lost Year by Katherine Marsh is a timely, page-turning story of family, survival, and sacrifice set in alternating timelines, moving between the US during the early days of the Covid pandemic, to the 1930s in Ukraine and the US.

Copies of the book can be obtained at any MCPL branch. E-book versions are available through Libby. E-audiobook versions are also available through Hoopla.

Registration is required and is limited to 16 participants, who must meet grade level requirements.
