Program Description

Event Details

Join us for Young Hoosier Book Club for grades 3-5! For the months of August - April, we will meet and discuss one of the Young Hoosier Intermediate Nominated books. In April, we will vote on our favorite and submit our votes to the Young Hoosier Book Committee. In order to be eligible for voting, a member must have participated in at least five meetings, or read at least five nominated books.

This month's book is "Maya and the Robot" by Eve L. Ewing. Maya's nervous about fifth grade. She tries to keep calm by reminding herself she knows what to expect. But then she learns that this year won't be anything like the last. For the first time since kindergarten, her best friends Jada and MJ are placed in a different class without her, and introverted Maya has trouble making new friends. She tries to put on a brave face since they are in fifth grade now, but Maya is nervous! Just when too much seems to be changing, she finds a robot named Ralph in the back of Mr. Mac's convenience store closet. Once she uses her science skills to get him up and running, a whole new world of connection opens up as Ralph becomes a member of her family and Maya begins to step into her power.
