Book Detective is an engaging reading enrichment class designed for curious young readers who love discovering new stories and sharing ideas. Through interactive discussions, creative activities, and collaborative projects, students explore memorable characters, exciting adventures, and meaningful themes while building a genuine love of reading.

By making connections between literature and the world around them, students leave each class more confident readers with a deeper appreciation for books and storytelling.
***Ages: 8–10: No advanced reading level required. Students are grouped appropriately and encouraged to participate at their own comfort level.
