Book Blurb: Meet Samantha: An American Girl Book

Samantha Parkington is an orpan who lives with her rich grandmother in 1904. There are many servants in Grandmary's busy, bustling household, but there is no one for Samantha to play with. That's why she's so excited when Nellie moves in next door. Nellie has come to work so that she can send money back to her family in the city. Even though their lives are different, the two girls become good friends. One day Samantha discovers that Jessie, the seamstress, is leaving. No one will tell her why. So she and Nellie plan a secret midnight adventure to find out




About the Author...Maybe not.

So, I looked and looked for information about Susan S. Adler, the author of our book this month, but I couldn't find any.  I checked all sorts of places and couldn't find a word.  Not even her birthday.  So, I think it would be nice if you had a go.  Try to find some information about our author and share it at our next meeting.  I'll post it here on the blog if you can find anything.  I hope you have better luck than I did.

Meeting Notes: The Best Christmas Pagaent Ever

Our meeting for The Best Christmas Pagaent Ever was a lot of fun.  We had a great time chatting about the book and why we did or didn't like it.  We were able to get four blankets together for the Dove center which will be donated along with the scarves and gloves the library has received.  It was nice to get together in the spirit of giving.

The books for January are as follows.  The Jr. group will be reading Meet Samantha an American Girl book by Susan Adler.  The Sr. Group will be reading Dragon Slippers by Jessica Day George.  Both of the books are great and I hope you enjoy them as much as I did.

Before I close, I would like to let everyone know that the meeting time for the clubs will be changing.  They will now be held on Wednesday nights at 7:00pm.  The Jr club will be the 2nd Wednesday and the Sr. club will be on the 4th Wednesday.   I hope this new times will make it so more people will have the opportunity to come to the meetings.

I'll see you there!
