🚨 PROJECT LIT BOOK CLUB UPDATES
- MIDDLE SCHOOL -
MS Project Lit will meet on Friday, March 20 from 8:30-9:45 to discuss Jennifer Chan is not alone by Tae Keller
From Goodreads:Â
A story about a girl who is alienated by her friends . . . for believing in aliens.
Sometimes middle school can make you feel like you're totally alone in the universe...but what if we aren't alone at all?
Mallory Moss knows how the world works. After meeting the cool girl, Reagan, she finally has a best friend, and Reagan makes Mallory feel like she belongs, like she can fit in this infinite universe, as long as she follows Reagan’s simple rules: wear the right clothes, control your image, know your place.
But when Jennifer Chan moves into the house across the street, those rules don’t feel quite so simple anymore. Because Jennifer is different. She doesn’t seem to care about the laws of middle school, or the laws of the universe. She’s willing to embrace the strange, the unknown… the extraterrestrial. She believes in aliens—and what’s more, she thinks she can find them.
Then Jennifer goes missing. The adults say she ran away…but where is she going? And why? Using clues in Jennifer’s journals about alien encounters, Mallory attempts to find her. But the closer she gets, the more Mallory has to confront why Jennifer might have run … and face the truth within herself.

🚨 PROJECT LIT BOOK CLUB UPDATES
- HIGH SCHOOL -
Our HS Project LIT book club met on Friday, January 6th to discuss Their Eyes Were Watching God by Zora Neale Hurston.Â
Our next book is Giovanni's Room by James Baldwin. We will meet Tuesday, February 25 at 9am in the outer library.Â
David is a young American expatriate who has just proposed marriage to his girlfriend, Hella. While she is away on a trip, David meets a bartender named Giovanni to whom he is drawn in spite of himself. Soon the two are spending the night in Giovanni’s curtainless room, which he keeps dark to protect their privacy. But Hella’s return to Paris brings the affair to a crisis, one that rapidly spirals into tragedy.
David struggles for self-knowledge during one long, dark night—“the night which is leading me to the most terrible morning of my life.” With a sharp, probing imagination, James Baldwin's now-classic narrative delves into the mystery of loving and creates a deeply moving story of death and passion that reveals the unspoken complexities of the human heart.
Our meeting is scheduled for Wednesday, February 25 from 9:00AM to 10:25AM in the library commons. Sign up here to attend!
