Join us monthly to discuss one of the 2024-2025 Massachusetts Children's Book Award book nominees!

If your child reads 5 of the nominees by May, they are able to vote for their favorite to win the Massachusetts Children's Book Award.

In December, we are reading "The Best of Iggy" by Annie Barrows. Read the blurb below: 

"Meet 9-year-old Iggy Frangi. He’s not a bad kid, he’s really not. Okay, so he’s done a few (a few is anything up to 100) bad things. And okay, he’s not very sorry about most of them. People make a big deal about nothing. What’s a little pancake here and there? Is that something to get mad about? Iggy doesn’t think so. No one got hurt, so there’s no problem. No one got hurt except for that one time, that one time when the Best Idea Ever turned into the Worst Idea of All Time.

Iggy is sorry he did it. He is really, really, really sorry.

“For what?” you might ask. “What did he do?”

Well, you’ll have to read the book to find out.

Things Iggy will NOT do in this book:

Be the most polite kid ever.

Play the cello.

Think before acting.

Learn a lesson.

Regret his actions. (Most of them, anyway.)"- Courtesy of Goodreads.

Copies will be available at the Children's Room Circulation Desk. **Please pick one up and read the book before the meeting!**
