Today's Middle School Book Discussion

I went to Byrd Middle School and had a great time talking about The Lightning Thief by Rick Riordan. There were 20 teens ready to talk about the Greeks. I brought Baklava and 4 different kinds of Nectar from the Mediterranean Bakery for a snack. We had a good time talking about which God we would want to have as our parent, and favorite scenes from the book. Not everyone had read the series, so keeping it to the one title was difficult. We had a trivia time where everyone got to pick a prize from the leftovers from Scavenger Hunts long since past. I also had a nice copy of Bulfinch's Age of the Fable with slews of Greek mythology. The teen who won looked very excited about getting it. We played some games and had a great time.

I will have one more discussion at Byrd towards the end for the whole Twilight series. 2 down and 2 more books to go.
