Can I help you?
This is Madame Sidler, the librarian. Last Monday we announced that we’re starting a book club. I hope you’re as excited about this as I am! Here’s how it’ll work.
I will be making my way leisurely through The Wingfeather Saga all year long. This works out to about thirty pages, or five chapters, each week. (You’re welcome to read at a quicker pace if you’d rather.) Each Friday, I’ll post an excerpt from my reading, and invite you to post a quote of your own in the comments.
And here’s the really thrilling part: We’re working on building a cozy place to sit down together and discuss these books as friends. This will take place in our brand-new discussion forum, which we’ll unveil next Monday, the 26th. If you have a question for other readers (or Andrew, who will join us from time to time), or if something in the story makes you think or feel or jump up and down, come to the forum!
This is going to be a great year. Andrew and I are looking forward to digging into the books with you and seeing a community grow up out of our discussions. Whether this is your first or fiftieth time through the Igibys’ story, your thoughts will make the conversation richer. I can’t wait to get started!
See you next Monday!

This sounds really fun! I think I would enjoy participating. ^^
This sounds awesome! I teach Literature to a group of homeschool middle school and high schoolers. We call it “Book Club”. We read “On the Dark Sea” this fall. I knew they’d love it and they did! All of my own kids had loved it and all of the subsequent books. My 12 year old son will love joining in on the Ban Rona Book Club, as the Wingfeather Saga is his all time favorite and a semi-obsession. 🙂
Eeeep!
COOL! 😀
I always thought Madame Sidler would be a spy or a bad guy. Not that I didn’t like her! Turns out she was just creepy. XD
And I thought maybe the secret passages would come into the story somehow later on. Turns out they were just mysterious. Which adds to the awesome effect of the library.
