Read about the weird and wondrous with other book dragons like you! Copies of each fantasy title are available at the Circulation Desk roughly one month before the meeting. Fly by the library and borrow May's book to add it to your hoard.

The Bookwyrms Book Club typically meets on the fourth Monday of every month at 4:00 PM (*except where noted). *This month, we are meeting on the third Monday as the library will be closed for Memorial Day during the regular rotation. We welcome all kids between the ages of 9 and 12! Stay after the discussion to craft a beastly bookmark to add to your magical menagerie.

This month’s selection is: The House with Chicken Legs by Sophie Anderson.

“All 12-year-old Marinka wants is a friend. A real friend. Not like her house with chicken legs. Sure, the house can play games like tag and hide-and-seek, but Marinka longs for a human companion. Someone she can talk to and share secrets with.

But that's tough when your grandmother is a Yaga, a guardian who guides the dead into the afterlife. It's even harder when you live in a house that wanders all over the world . . . carrying you with it. Even worse, Marinka is being trained to be a Yaga. That means no school, no parties--and no playmates that stick around for more than a day.

So when Marinka stumbles across the chance to make a real friend, she breaks all the rules . . . with devastating consequences. Her beloved grandmother mysteriously disappears, and it's up to Marinka to find her--even if it means making a dangerous journey to the afterlife."
