The PLD Library Book Club meets bi-weekly in the Dunbar Den during 5th lunch from 1:15-1:40 p.m. We eat snacks, choose the books we want to read from the KBA list, and discuss them. Sometimes we craft, too. If you would like to join the book club, then email Mrs. Faris at amber.faris@fayette.kyschools.us.

Congratulations to author Holly Jackson for winning the KBA Award for High School for her mystery/thriller novel, The Reappearance of Rachel Price! The book follows Bel, an 18-year-old, who witnessed her mother's disappearance at age two. When a documentary crew dredges up the cold case, Rachel miraculously returns with an unbelievable story. Bel quickly discovers her mother is lying and uncovers dark family secrets in this gripping thriller by the author of A Good Girl's Guide to Murder.
Our PLD Library Book Club read this one earlier this year, and we all loved the twists and turns! We have multiple copies available for checkout!
