Our Student-Led Book Discussion book for September 2016 is:
Synopsis:
"Hank Kirby can't catch a break. He doesn't mean to screw up. It just happens. Case in point: his attempt to ask out the girl he likes literally goes up in flames when he spelled "prom" in sparklers on Amanda Carlisle's lawn...and nearly burns down her house, without ever asking her the big question. Hank just wants to pretend the incident never happened. And he might've gotten away with it-except there is a witness. Peyton Breedlove, brooding loner and budding pyromaniac, saw the whole thing, and she blackmails Hank into an unusual friendship. Sure, Hank may be headed for his biggest disaster yet, but it's only when life falls apart that you can start piecing it back together." |

We met Rainbow Rowell!
Ms. Gilroy and Mrs. Fecher attended the Rainbow Rowell lecture at the Carnegie Library in Oakland on October 8th. Some PTHS students met us there and we were all lucky enough to get our books signed by Rainbow! Stop by the library to check out our signed copies of Eleanor & Park and the newest from Rainbow Rowell, Carry On. |
