SUMMARY:SHHH! We're Reading Kid's Book Club
DESCRIPTION:They got lost. The world got scared. And the mud got fuzzy. \nJoin us this month as we dive into Fuzzy Mud by Louis Sachar—a suspenseful and thought-provoking story that blends science\, mystery\, and friendship. \nWhen fifth grader Tamaya and seventh grader Marshall take a shortcut through the off-limits woods\, they end up facing more than just a bully. What they stumble upon could change everything—not just for them\, but for the whole world. This discussion will explore the choices we make\, the risks of science gone wrong\, and just how weird mud can get. \n📖 Haven’t finished the book? No problem—come anyway! We’d love to hear your thoughts. Bring your curiosity and your questions!
