Tween Book Club is a group for young readers who love to read, talk about books and have fun!  This program is designed for readers in grades 3-6. Please register each participant. Note that you do not need to read the book ahead of time. Copies of the book are available at HPL at the Children's Desk and on Overdrive.

This month, our book is The Moon Within, by Aida Salazar. This book is described as a coming-of-age story, "A worthy successor to [Judy Blume's] Are You There God? It's Me, Margaret set in present-day Oakland." -- Kirkus Reviews, starred review. 

Celi Rivera's life swirls with questions. About her changing body. Her first attraction to a boy. And her best friend's exploration of what it means to be genderfluid.But most of all, her mother's insistence she have a moon ceremony when her first period arrives. It's an ancestral Mexica ritual that Mima and her community have reclaimed, but Celi promises she will NOT be participating. Can she find the power within herself to take a stand for who she wants to be?
