Radical Readers: Books & Beyond!

Tween Book Club - Now on Mondays

Book club for readers in Grades 4-6. Each season we pick a different style, theme, or genre of book to explore. This Summer our theme is Myths & Legends!

Welcome to Radical Readers: Books & Beyond, Potomac Library's book club for readers in grades 4-6. We are now meeting on Mondays!

Every season we pick a style or genre that gets us excited about reading. For our Summer season the theme is Myths & Legends.

This July we are reading Kwame Crashes the Underworld by Craig Kofi Farmer. Join us as we discuss the book, play games, and enjoy some light refreshments!

"Twelve-year-old Kwame Powell isn't ready to deal with losing his grandmother, even as he and his family head to Ghana for her celebration of life.

He's definitely not ready when he's sucked into a magical whirlpool that leads straight to Asamando, the Ghanaian underworld. There, he comes face to face with his grandmother, who is very much alive, and somehow still...a kid? Together with his best friend, Autumn, and a talkative aboatia named Woo, Kwame must battle angry nature gods and stop the underworld from destroying the land of the living.

But there's an even bigger problem: Only living souls can leave Asamando. In order to save the mortal world and return home, Kwame will need to find the courage to do the bravest thing of all -- learn how to say goodbye."

Pick up a copy of the book from the Circulation Desk at Potomac Library starting June 30th.  You can also access the book as an e-book or audiobook through Libby, a free app accessible through MCPL.
