Introducing Septembers' Get Reading with (Older) Girl Scouts Virtual Book Club book:
Esperanza Rising by am Muñoz Ryan (Recommended reading ages: Grades 6-7)
Plot Summary: "Esperanza thought she'd always live a privileged life on her family's ranch in Mexico. She'd always have fancy dresses, a beautiful home filled with servants, and Mama, Papa, and Abuelita to care for her. But a sudden tragedy forces Esperanza and Mama to flee to California and settle in a Mexican farm labor camp. Esperanza isn't ready for the hard work, financial struggles brought on by the Great Depression, or lack of acceptance she now faces. When Mama gets sick and a strike for better working conditions threatens to uproot their new life, Esperanza must find a way to rise above her difficult circumstances--because Mama's life, and her own, depend on it."
Each month, Liz will lead a one hour discussion about that month's read via Zoom. The Zoom link will be sent out the week before the book club meeting. Before registering your Girl Scout, please make sure the content is age appropriate for your kiddo. Happy reading!
This is a virtual event.
