The Going Bananas Book Club meets every month at lunchtime, 12:30-1:00 pm, in the Conference Room at Eagle Elementary.
Our next meeting is scheduled for February 10th. For February we will be reading
Haven Kimmel's book, Kaline Klattermaster's Treehouse. Please be sure to read the book so you can join in the discussion.
At our first meeting the kids selected a new name for the book club. After much, much discussion, we settled on
the Going Bananas Book Club!
At our first meeting, we choose two mysteries: The City of Ember and Sammy Keyes and the Hotel Thief. Each
group will share what they thought of the book.

Kaline Klattermaster's Treehouse Summary by Simon and Schuster
Kaline Klattermaster LOVES his mom. ADORES his mom. But his mom can be, well, a bit forgetful sometimes. A bit lax.
A bit...CRAZY. For instance, she's a bit crazy when she leaves him in the tub for THREE HOURS. Or gives him a chicken leg
for breakfast...or forgets that he needs to go to school. AND he's not completely sure his mother understands how time works.
She's been even a bit MORE CRAZY since his dad left. So it's a very good thing that the folks in Kaline's tree house are not so crazy. They understand him. They don't mind that he sometimes
HAS to play his pretend bugle, and, of course, they are FULL of good advice on how to handle bullies.
His mom hints
that the tree house is imaginary. Kaline is UNCONVINCED.
