A Boy Called Bat

With One School, One Book, you select a book and each student in your school receives a copy to read at home as a family. At school, students celebrate and explore the novel with their classmates. This essential strategy reinforces reading instruction, increases parental involvement, bridges the home-school connection, and builds a true community of readers. 

Greenbrook has chosen the book, A Boy Called Bat.  

A Boy Called Bat follows Bat, an elementary-aged boy, Bat, who lives with his mother, and older sister. Bat is elated when his mother brings home an orphaned newborn skunk kit. The kit, Thor, is supposed to stay for a month before going to a rescue organization, but Bat works hard to change his mother’s mind. Through taking care of Thor, Bat learns how to relate better to his family, and makes his first friend.
