Book groups for kids are important for fostering a love of reading, improving comprehension and critical thinking skills, and encouraging social interaction. They also expose children to a wider range of books and authors, promoting diverse perspectives and communication skills.

This month we will be reading the book The Firelight Apprentice by Bree Paulsen.
In a city powered by magic and still recovering from a bloody war, Ada is concerned about her younger sister Safi’s developing powers. She understands that Safi could learn how to control her magic under the apprenticeship of a king’s magician. But with the memories of war still fresh, Ada is conflicted by this prospect—despite her knowing that she can’t keep Safi safely at home with the threat of deadly, power-thieving liches prowling the kingdom.
When a traveling group of magicians comes to the city to perform, they immediately recognize Safi’s talents and offer to take her on as an apprentice. Safi is thrilled about her new adventure—even if that means leaving behind Ada and their sickly father. And Ada is right to worry about her sister, for there may be monsters hiding behind friendly faces…
Kids talk books (Grades 3-6)
This book group is for busy kids who don’t have time to read a book they may not enjoy every month. Kids are welcome to talk about any book they want. Whether they loved it, hated it, or didn’t see what all the hype was about, just come and discuss it with us!
