Book Club

The Upper School Book Club is currently reading What in God's Name by Simon Rich. The group meets in the Ederic Library at lunch once every four to six weeks to either discuss a book the club has already read or to choose the next one. 

In order to encourage reading and discussion, the Ederic Library sponsors book clubs for Upper School and Middle School students. In the past year, readers met regularly and discussed The Fault in Our Stars, by John Green, Clean, by Amy Reed, The Night Circus by Erin Morgenstern, Thirteen Reasons Why, by Jay Asher; The White Queen, by Elizabeth Woodville; Peace Like a River, by Leif Enger; and Volume 5 of The Adventures of TINTIN - 3 stories titled Land of Black Gold, Destination Moon and Explorers on the Moon, by Hergé.

For more information about this year's Tatnall Book Club, contact Head Librarian Linda Graham.
