Grandchildren's Book Group

10/28/2017

 
We had a family vacation planned with one of our children and three of our grandchildren.  I had an idea that we could all read the same book and then discuss it while we were on vacation.  So I texted my granddaughter Ava who is in 6th grade. ​
​Hi Ava, I was thinking that it would be fun if we all read the same book before we go to Tahoe so we could discuss it while we were there. Papa
She responded with this
Hi Papa. I think it's a great idea to have everyone read the same book, and I do have a few options.  One great book I have read is Out of my Mind by Sharon M. Draper.  Ava

Eight of us went on a family vacation to Truckee, California: four adults and four children, and almost everyone read the book before we got there.  The book was fantastic.  I still think about the main character, Melody, and I hope she is doing well.  I know it is fiction, but she must be based on someone,
   I was surprised by how much fun this was, the level of the discussions, and of the compassion the children possessed.  Part of the success of this was that we chose a book they were interested in, rather than one the adults liked.  Here is a video with more of the experience:
