The Lions of Little Rock by Kristin Levine is our current book club selection.
Sometimes friendship is an act of bravery. Marlee and Liz put friendship above everything else in this powerful novel set in Little Rock Arkansas in 1958. This is a time of racial segregation and the beginnings of change. Historical fiction at its finest.
There's a Book for That 
If Marlee and Liz lived in 2013 they would be BFFS
Ya! This is such a great book! but um… i kind of… sort of forgot what we were supposed to read up to… I’m SO SORRY! Otherwise This is a great book seriously. Go Books!
Go Books indeed! It was 120 or 140 something . . . Check in with me Monday! I left my copy at school. My home copy doesn’t have the bookmark in it. So pleased you are enjoying this title!

It is always so interesting how we find so many things on the second read!
i know right
why is the time all strange 12:57 AM ??? its only 5:59 PM. sorry this is not a book club thing im just so curious is it the website or my computer?
Your right lisa that is strange. its happening with mine too. i think its the website
Yes, girls – the wordpress site is set to a different time zone. Very observant of you
hey Ms Gelson! I just finished the book and i llllllllllllllllllllllllooooooooooooooooovvvvvvvvvvvvvvvveeeeeeeeeeeeeee it as you already know. I’ll tell everybody i know about book club & it’s website when i go to my new school & I’ll communicate every day books
Catriona, this means so much to me. We can all stay connected through our love of books and our brilliant thinking! Yippee!
everyone! chapter 55 line 16! I was flipping through and this caught my attention! Look! look now! its amazing! NNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOWWWWWWWWWW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ITS MAJOR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Of course I had to open my book and find this page. What did that line mean to you?
i feel like there should be a sequel because ends too sooooooon! (as all books do)
I find it really difficult to say goodbye to some characters too. I would love you to read Glory Be by Augusta Scattergood if you haven’t already. I think you would love it. The main character has a lot of spunk.
Absolutely loved being a part of the Book Club for the final book! Thank you for welcoming me in to the group! I loved reading along with you guys…..and loved the rich discussions! Can’t wait until next year!!!
Ms. Wilks We loved your enthusiasm! And we are thrilled that you will continue with us!
