For those of us who have tried and tried to make a book club work, this is a great set of suggestions and examples to create a lasting book club at your school. I really love the question and answer to Will participants be required to read the entire book to participate? I have faculty book clubs where a requirement to read it all would have automatically failed. Stacys advice to be open-minded will help get your book club off the ground. * Robbie Barber, Teacher-Librarian, USA * As a librarian who has been running a book club for over 10 years, I can attest to the value of book clubs for children of all ages. Stacy Brown's book provides useful information for those first starting out and those looking for a refresh for their book clubs. * Mia Manekofsky, Youth Services Librarian, DeKalb County Public Library, USA * As a seasoned middle school teacher librarian and book club facilitator, reading Revolutionize Youth Book Clubs: Strategies for Meaningful and Fun Reading Experiences ignited a much-needed spark of excitement for the planning and implementation of my student book clubs. Through authentic anecdotes and relevant, engaging, and tangible ideas, this book provides librarians with a road map to take any book club to the next level. This is a book I will come back to regularly a MUST READ for every librarian wanting to plan and execute successful and meaningful book club experiences for every level. * Melissa Thom, Middle School Teacher Librarian, USA *
