Our online KidsReading Club offers middle-graders a literary social outlet with peers their age (9-12). We’re excited to hold our first discussion on The Witch Boy by Molly Knox Ostertag. In this graphic novel, thirteen-year-old Aster wants to learn witchcraft, even though his community of witches and shape-shifters forbids it for boys. Featuring a diverse cast of engaging characters, The Witch Boy will encourage conversations about friendship, self-discovery, and gender norms.

N.R. Lambert will lead the 90-minute, single-session meet on Saturday, November 14 at 11am.


This group will take place online via Zoom. Participants will receive instructions for access prior to the first session.
