MEC Junior Book Club Update By 2 nd Year Isobel Kelly The Junior Book Club is a reading group in the school, comprised of 1st to 3rd years. At present, we are a small but dedicated group of readers who, along with Ms Hadnett and Ms Blythe, meet monthly to discuss the title we have read and enjoy biscuits in the process! As a group, we have covered many interesting books this year, including ‘The Maze Runner’ by James Dashner, ‘Skellig’ by David Almond and, most recently, ‘The Surface Breaks’ by Louise O’ Neill. All of these were great titles that I would not have read had it not been for the book club. We are met again on 10th March to discuss ‘Apple and Rain’ by Sarah Crossan. I really enjoy book club as it is a great way to meet fellow readers and converse about books in a fun and simulating environment. Staff Book Club Recommended Read 06 Maynooth Education Campus
