 Talking Books: Book Discussion Groups with Kids and Tee ns

Now that we've moved into the last two weeks of October, we're ready to begin our discussion on book discussion groups for children and teens.

Do you run book discussion groups for children and/or teens? Tell us a little bit about your group and how it works. What titles have you found

especially powerful for generating rich conversation? What do you look for as you consider books to use?

Even if you don't host a group yourself, we welcome your ideas on great books for discussion groups for elementary through high school-age.
