Reader's Theater with Gennifer Choldenko

July 26 @ 2:00

Al Capone does my shirts, winner of the Newbery Honor Medal, bowled us over with its humor, local history and incredible story. Gennifer did it again with Al Capone Shines My Shoes. In a total departure, she wrote No Passengers Beyond This Point which tells a story of adventure and survival, set in a fantastical place with rules all its own. Sharp dialogue and taut action make this a book that will stick with you long after you read the incredible ending. This is an afternoon not to be missed!

As part of Hicklebee's Read-Aloud Summer, Gennifer Choldenko along with actors from Peninsula Youth Theater, will be presenting a *Reader's Theater production of his books. Booksigning to follow. * About Reader’s Theater: Readers Theater is a dramatic presentation of a book adapted to script form.

Tuesday, June 26, 6:30 PM Greenlight Young Readers Book Group discusses No Passengers Beyond This Point

Led by Greenlight bookseller and former teacher Brette, this book group is geared toward kids ages 8 to 14, and reads great contemporary and classic chapter books. Parents are welcome (but not required) to attend; pizza is served. For June, the Young Readers Book Group will discuss No Passengers Beyond This Point by Gennifer Choldenko, a reality-bending adventure from a Newbery Honor-winning author. Siblings India, Finn, and Mouse are stunned when their mom tells them they are flying that night--without her--to their Uncle Red's home in Colorado. But things take an even more dramatic turn when their plane lands in a very unusual place. A mysterious driver meets them at the airport; when he drops them off at their "destination," each kid suddenly has a clock with a different amount of time left. If the time runs out, they have to become permanent citizens in a place they don't recognize or understand. Only if they work together can they call the driver back to help get them where they really belong. Suspenseful, funny, dramatic, and thought-provoking, this is a book that will stay with you long after you read the incredible ending.
