World Explorers Bookclub

£10 (includes the first book to be read)

ideal 10-13yrs old

Clubs will be monthly on a Thursday afternoon

Join us for our launch event during half-term and help us plot a course for a voyage of discovery... Led by Mark and Hannah, we will set, read and then discuss wonderful works of fiction, each taking a different country of the world as their setting. Along the way, we'll be enjoying activities and learning fun facts about the places the books have taken us. The chosen books will have contents suitable within roughly the 10-13yrs age range. Participants will receive bonus materials like posters, activity sheets and the occasional free book. They will also receive a special bookclub loyalty card worth money off books with repeated attendance. The first set book will be announced at the event after consultation with participants. For this first event, we just ask that they bring themselves and their love of books. There'll be plenty of discussion about what we enjoy reading and that will shape the journey ahead!
