Fourth-Grade Book Club: The Teacher’s Funeral

At its October meeting, the Club will discuss this novel by Richard Peck, which follows the saga of 15-year-old Russell Culver who is growing up in 1904 in the Dakotas. When his teacher dies in August, young Russell – a wayward student – has to adjust to his new teacher – his sister Tansy! To him, school has been nothing but a chain holding him back from his dreams. Walk-ins are welcome, but registration is requested by calling the Library at (914) 738-1234. Book club books are usually available at the circulation desk for immediate checkout. In November, the club will discuss Tales of the Odyssey by Mary Pope Osborne.
