Hey, Emilio! I have a dog named Chester and I can't imagine him having any other name! In September's book, The Incredible Magic of Being, the main character, Julian, talks a lot about dogs and their names. I can't wait to read what you guys think of the book!

I'm so glad you liked the book, Marianne! Have you read anything else by Jason Reynolds? I haven't yet, but this book made me want to check out his other stuff!

Kennedy wrote: "There's another one I just finished today. It's called Outlaws of time: The Legend of Sam Miracle, by N. D. Wilson. Another good one is 100 Cupboards, by N. D. Wilson."

Thanks for the recommendations, Kennedy! I'll have to check them out!

Welcome to August! We'll use this space to talk about our favorite moments, words and characters from As Brave As You by Jason Reynolds. It's a fun story about two brothers and how they spend their summer. How are you spending your summer? We'd love to hear!

Happy summer, everyone! We hope you love this month's book. We'll use this space to share our favorite words, characters and moments from Wishtree. Happy reading!

Kennedy wrote: "It has a sequel too."

Even better!

Arnav wrote: "I already read Chasing Space by Leland Melvin when the book kicked off in late May and it was a book scheduled for people in this club to read in June. I also think that this is a very good book fo..."

I'm so glad you enjoyed the book, Arnav! Do you typically read nonfiction? If you do, we'd love to hear some recommendations for your favorite nonfiction books. Although I tend to stick to fiction books, I do like memoirs like Leland's book.

Hello, everyone! Happy summer! We'll use this space to talk about our favorite moments and words from Leland Melvin's memoir Chasing Space. Be sure to check out the Bee's exclusive interview with Leland in the video section on the group's main page.

Hey, Reese! Let us know if you read any of our past books and what you think of them!

Kennedy wrote: "Yes, Nancy Drew is great! Also, if you like Mystery, you might like Curiosity house by Lauren Oliver and H. C. Chester. The Night Gardener by Jonathan Auxier is good too. Has anyone read Dragons Green by Scarlett Thomas? That's good too."

These are such great suggestions, Kennedy! I'm adding all of them to my to-read shelf right now.

Arnav wrote: "I think I will like the Nancy Drew books very much because they are suggestions of them at the end of all of the Hardy Boys books in the whole series. I can’t wait for June to come so I can read yo..."

Hey, Arnav! I hope you're excited to read June's book club pick: Chasing Space by Leland Melvin. It's our first nonfiction selection and it's fascinating. The full email with details will go out later today. Let us know what you think!

Kennedy wrote: "I LOVE Dragons Green! It's a great book about friendship, teamwork, mystery, and magic!"

This book sounds amazing—I'll definitely have to check it out! Thanks so much for the recommendation, Kennedy. I love fantasy books.

Reese wrote: "My FAVORITE book series ever (for kids) is the Penderwicks by Jeanne Birdsall. This book series, similar to Little Women, is about four sisters who go on adventures. There are currently 5 books in ..."

Thanks for the recommendation, Reese! I've read The Penderwicks, but didn't know it was a series of five books! I loved the first one, so now I think I'll have to read the rest—thanks!

Arnav wrote: "I have read some books from the Hardy boys and I have also read A to Z mysteries."

Those are both great mystery series! I personally love the Nancy Drew mysteries, as well. If you like the Hardy Boys, I bet you'll like those.

Arnav wrote: "I just finished The Inside Job and think it was amazing. If anyone hears about a new book that's a sequel to The Inside Job by Jackson Pearce, please notify me about that so I can read that book be..."

Hey, Arnav! I'm so glad you liked the book so much! I don't know if there's going to be a sequel to The Inside Job, but I hope so. What other spy or detective stories have you read? Some that I've heard are really good are The Alex Rider series by Anthony Horowitz and The Mysterious Benedict Society series by Trenton Lee Stewart.

Arnav wrote: "I'm pretty sure that my favorite part is when Hale finds out that Oleander is really in disguise as Alex Creevy, an SRS agent because it totally changes everything that the fake director of The Lea..."

I totally agree with you about how finding out about Oleander changes everything—I loved that plot twist and I didn't see it coming at all.

I don't think there's another book after The Inside Job yet, but maybe the author is planning on writing another! I hope so!

Arnav wrote: "I also finished it and it was really good!!! I really hope that I can get the next book if this is a series."

Hey, Arnav—I'm so glad you liked the book! What was your favorite part? I think mine was when Hale joined the ballet class. This book does have a sequel (it's called The Inside Job). I can't wait to read it!

Kennedy wrote: "I just finished it- loved it!"

Yay, that's awesome! I'm so glad you liked the book! Do you think you'll read the next one in the series, The Inside Job?

Kennedy wrote: "I'm excited to read it!"

Yay! We can't wait to hear what you think!

Hey, everyone! Welcome to May! We'll use this space to discuss our favorite moments, words and characters from The Doublecross. I can't wait to hear your thoughts about this month's book!
