Boys’ Book Club Begins a New Year!
The Boys’ Book Club, for boys in Grades 4 to 6, has started up again. Some 35 boys have joined, and, after lengthy discussions, we have agreed to start with Edo Van Belkom’s Wolf Pack, which won the Ontario Library Association’s Silver Birch prize for fiction in 2006.
While we figure out where to borrow or purchase copies of Wolf Pack, we are creating reading alter egos, our true reading selves, to share with one another and with the world at large. I was interested to note that each and every one of these alter egos is imaginative and reflects the inner self of the reader it represents. The fostering of creativity and imagination are two of the greatest gifts that reading bestows. They make for a rich inner life, and, help to nurture the development of creative and problem-solving individuals.
