Afterschool Book Group (4th-6th) - "Oliver's Great Big Universe"

Join Jay and Rebecca to discuss this month's title and enjoy an activity related to the book. 

This month's book will be Oliver's Great Big Universe by Jorge Cham.

Oliver has a lot going on starting his first year of middle school--new friends, new classes, new everything. But at least there's one thing that still makes sense: science! Determined to be an astrophysicist one day, Oliver explains everything he learns--like how the sun burps, how ghost particles fly through you, the uncanny similarities between Mercury and cafeteria meatballs, and most important, how the Big Bang is basically just like a fart in the school hallway. (Also, there are time-bending black holes, exploding supernova stars, and aliens! Well, there could be aliens.) Oliver finally feels like he's starting to figure things out . . . but can he stay out of the principal's office or catch a break from his annoying sister?

The 4th through 6th Grade Afterschool Book Group meets the third Thursday of each month at the South Whidbey Community Center. Snack provided. Books and supplies provided by the Friends of the Langley Library. Spots are limited.

Hosted by Freeland Library and Langley Library.
