Welcome to Books & Beyond!

This year Parker’s book club is going “beyond bagels” to meet the needs of students who cannot make before school meetings. The meetings will take place during lunch, but conversations about what we are reading will not be limited to that time. Using this blog will enable us to share our thoughts about the book as we are reading.

  1. I really liked the idea of the Monsoon Magic. I thought it was really cool. I like how it didn't really come from nowhere because sometimes you really do feel different in storms.
