Join the Middle School Book Club! Each week, Tim and a few of his middle school students discuss their thoughts and reactions to a popular young adult novel. The novel discussions are broken up into several episodes, so you're encouraged to read along. You can read part of the book, listen to the discussion about that part, read the next part, listen to that discussion, and so on!


Want to tell us your own thoughts or reactions as you read and listen along? Send an email to themiddleschoolbookclub1@gmail.com.

The group discusses Part One of A Good Girl's Guide to Murder by Holly Jackson. Check out the podcast to hear Savannah, Vivi, and Hazel's theories on who the culprit was and what might happen next in the novel!
