July 2nd we will be discussing The Bark of the Bog Owl by Jonathan Rogers, the book we read in June. Participants will also receive the next book we will be reading for July which is The Restorationists by Carolyn Leiloglou The Restorationists summary from Amazon.com: After an experience he’d rather forget, Vincent is determined to be done with art. So when he and his little sister, Lili, spend spring break with their art conservator great-uncle, Vincent’s plan is to stay glued to his phone. That is, until Lili disappears into one of the world’s most famous paintings and Vincent learns his parents have been hiding something from him: Their family is the last of The Restorationists, a secret society with the power to travel through paintings—and a duty to protect them from evil forces. Participants will read the book for that month and discuss it the following month. There will be a craft or activity to go along with the book. This book club is for grades 3rd - 8th.
