Club progress · ch. 11 of 18

What we're about

Friendship first. The book helps.

Better together

Reading's fun. Reading with friends who get it is better. Bring a friend, or come make one.

Middle school, honestly

The book starts the conversation — friendships, changing, figuring stuff out. No judgment.

Everyone's welcome

No cliques. Didn't finish it? Come anyway. Seriously.
