Time: 4:30 p.m. - 5:30 p.m.
Cost: Free, but registration is required
Tweens of Cochrane! Join us twice a month for a book club for kids aged 9-12!
Every month we will be reading an engaging or thought-provoking book, and meeting twice a month to engage in discussion and participate in activities.
Books will be provided for the participants and each child will be able to pick up their copy at the front desk before the first session so they can start reading before the book club starts.
This registration is for October ONLY!
Registration opens at 10:00 am on Friday, August 30.
The book we are reading this month is:
Cirque du Freak: A Living Nightmare by Darren Shan
Plot summary:
Darren Shan and his best friend, Steve, get tickets to the Cirque Du Freak, a wonderfully gothic freak show featuring weird, frightening half human/half animals who interact terrifyingly with the audience. In the midst of the excitement, true terror raises its head when Steve recognizes that one of the performers-- Mr. Crepsley-- is a vampire!
Steve remains after the show finishes to confront the vampire-- but his motives are surprising! In the shadows of a crumbling theater, a horrified Darren eavesdrops on his friend and the vampire, and is witness to a monstrous, disturbing plea. As if by destiny, Darren is pulled to Mr. Crepsley and what follows is his horrifying descent into the dark and bloody world of vampires.
This is Darren's story.
