About this Event
Introducing our newest book club for 6-8 year olds!
On the third Sunday of each month, we will chat about our hidden gem early chapter book, have some fun reading aloud, then get creative with a related activity!
Join us this month in discussing !
Chapter Chasers Book Club is made for emerging readers (K-2) chasing the thrill of reading their first chapter-books! We encourage both independent reading and family read-alouds for Chapter Chasers. The goal of this book club is to get kids excited about books and reading, to encourage their self-identity as readers, and to foster community and social learning through a love of books!
We chose Bibsy as our first book for an extra special reason! Author Liz Scanlon will be coming to Old Town books on Saturday, October 4 for a special event with author, Abby Hanlon! We can’t wait to hear these awesome authors chat about their precocious protagonists, who are totally peas in a pod. After Chapter Chasers you will be ready to ask the best questions! Watch our website or sign up for our to stay in the know about tickets.
Parents are welcome to stay on the Junior side and participate or browse the adult side. Parents of children 12 and younger must remain on-site.

About the book:
Meet Bibsy Cross, the precocious eight-year-old heroine of this charming chapter book series, as she navigates a relationship with a teacher who thinks that Bibsy is just too much.
Most things are easy-peasy, regular-pegular for Bibsy Cross. She loves her parents, her cat, her best friend, Natia. And she loves going to school. She might just love that most of all!
This year, Bibsy has Mrs. Stumper for a teacher... and Mrs. Stumper doesn't seem too keen on Bibsy. She thinks Bibsy talks too much--especially about her science fair project.
But one day, when Bibsy talks a little too much, and goes a stone too far, Mrs. Stumper punishes her by punching a hole in her paper apple that hangs in the classroom. And Bibsy is devastated.
How can she make the best science fair project when she feels so rotten?
This is the first in a series of four early chapter-books. If you like this exuberant, endearing main character, !
