RHs Book Club
about US
Club Description
Book Club is for ya’ll--the students! You pick the books we read and you can lead discussions. We aim to read two books a month and discuss on alternating weeks. There’s no pressure to read each book selected. If you aren’t into a particular title, don’t worry about it! You’re still welcome to come to discussion even if you haven’t read the books.
In 2018-19 we read: The Hate U Give, Air, All the Bright Places, Thunderdog, All We Have Left, Three Dark Crowns, One of Us is Lying, and The Radius of Us

Major Events & Projects
Many Book Clubbers also participate in the Young Adult Book Awards (YABA) program. Reading three nominated books from the list of twenty earns you a vote in the book election and free pizza in the spring!
We try to take a field trip to the movies once a year to see a movie adaptation of a book. We compare and contrast the book and movie versions. Last year, we went to see The Hate U Give. It was fantastic and we took up two whole rows at the theatre!

Allegedly
by Tiffany D. Jackson
Mary B. Addison killed a baby.
Allegedly. She didn’t say much in that first interview with detectives, and the media filled in the only blanks that mattered: A white baby had died while under the care of a churchgoing black woman and her nine-year-old daughter. The public convicted Mary and the jury made it official. But did she do it? She wouldn’t say.
Mary survived six years in baby jail before being dumped in a group home. The house isn’t really “home”—no place where you fear for your life can be considered a home. Home is Ted, who she meets on assignment at a nursing home.
There wasn’t a point to setting the record straight before, but now she’s got Ted—and their unborn child—to think about. When the state threatens to take her baby, Mary must find the voice to fight her past. And her fate lies in the hands of the one person she distrusts the most: her Momma. No one knows the real Momma. But who really knows the real Mary?
