What do we do at Book Club?
- Book Club members meet-up for 45 mins to chat about that month's book. The idea is to finish the book before our meeting so that we can discuss it without being worried about spoilers. However it is not an issue if they don't finish they can still contribute and often it gives someone motivation to keep going.
- I lead the discussion and guide Book Clubbers - we want to encourage young readers to be thinkers, but are keen to ensure our meetings fun!
- Note If you have a reluctant reader no one is going to know if you read it together - they can come and discuss their thoughts.
What do we get with each ticket?
- 2 fantastic new titles to read before each meeting!
- Plus a spot at the Book Club table (numbers are limited)
- Afternoon tea
How much are the tickets?
- $42

The Swifts
A hilarious mystery adventure perfect for fans of Robin Stevens and Lemony Snicket.
On the day they are born, each Swift is brought before the sacred Family Dictionary. They are given a name and a definition, and it is assumed they will grow up to match. Unfortunately, Shenanigan Swift has other ideas. So what if her relatives all think she's destined to turn out as a troublemaker, just because of her name? Shenanigan knows she can be whatever she wants - pirate, explorer or even detective. Which is lucky, really, because when one of the Family tries to murder Arch-Aunt Schadenfreude, someone has to work out whodunit. With the help of her sisters and cousin, Shenanigan grudgingly takes on the case, but more murders, a hidden treasure and an awful lot of suspects make thing seriously complicated.
Can Shenanigan catch the killer before the whole household is picked off? And in a Family where definitions are so important, can she learn to define herself?
An absolutely delightful debut with heartwarming character growth and a clever, genre-savvy country-house mystery.
