Island of the Blue Dolphins

Island of the Blue Dolphins by Scott O'Dell is an amazing tale about a girl surviving on an island and realizing many things about life. It won the John Newbery Medal, and will be the first book we read. Join us, and post your thoughts on this book in the comments after you are done.

Welcome to Shooting Stars Book Club

Welcome to Shooting Stars Book Club, a place for young readers to read along at their own pace, and discuss the books that they read. This book club is being started by a mom and 6th grader in the hopes of encouraging other young people to not only discover new books, but to also share with other people what they like (or don't) and what they saw in each book. The great thing is that you can read at your own pace, and then comment to discuss the book after completing it. You can also decide that a book we pick isn't the right one for you, and skip it all together! We hope you choose to join us on our reading adventures, and read along!
