Our book for July is Peter andthe Starcatchers. Here is a short review of the book:Fourteen-year-old Peter is an orphan who doesn't exactly know how old he truly is, just like he doesn't know his last name. So when St. Norbert's Home for Wayward Boys places him aboard a ship called The Never Land, along with four of his mates, on a trip to an island ruled by the evil King Zarboff, where they will be forced to serve as slaves, Peter doesn't know exactly what to think. But when he meets up with fourteen-year-old Molly Aster, a rich passenger, traveling with her governess Mrs. Bumbrake, mysterious things begin happening. For instance, Molly can speak to porpoises, and she's hiding information about the strange trunk located in a holding cell upon The Never Land. Information about the magic, and mystery, that the trunk is holding inside. But when the notorious Black Stache learns about the treasure, the passengers upon The Never Land are in for a lot of trouble. Trouble that leads them all to fight with pirates, and become stranded on a desert island.
Our meeting will be held 6:30, Thursday, July 9 at Linda's house. Please let Mindy know if you have any questions.

I have Linda's copy! And I'm totally finished but keep forgetting (I know... I suck majorly) to bring it into Smithfield. Amy, did you still want it next? It's a quick read. You could probably finish it in time.
I'm still waiting for this to come back to the Smithfield library. I don't know if it will get here in time if I order it, so if anyone has a copy I can borrow, I'd REALLY appreciate it! My e-mail is etherington@q.com. THANKS!
Linda should have her copy back by now (the one I had). If not, Mindy's got it. If you hurry, you could finish for sure by Thursday. It's a pretty easy read.
I loved the book Linda. I was so excited for Peter to cut off Black Stache's hand! I couldn't believe it took until the end of the book though. Good Pick!
I'm so sad I missed it (aka "spaced it"). Ahh! What a dork. I hope you all had a miserable and boring time without me. (wink)
