The Teen Team Meeting was so much fun! We ate pizza and discussed what Newbery books and award-winning books for teens to order for the library. When some people entered the room, they signed their name on the signup sheet and wrote their names on the name tags.
We could also sit anywhere we wanted, and we could chat with others while Mrs. L, the organizer, prepared the necessary things to discuss. After a couple of minutes, the pizza arrived!! Mrs. L read the names of the books and the summaries and told us to raise our hands if we thought the book was interesting. If we didn't think it would be a good book for the library, we would just put our hands down.
Then, Mrs. L would count the number of hands raised. (If it was 10 or above she would purchase the book for our library, if it was below 10 she would not purchase it.) We discussed 10 books, but only three were chosen to be purchased for the library. The three books were, Out of the Dust, by Karen Hesse, Campfire, by Shawn Sarles, and Echo, by Pam Muñoz Ryan.
I was having so much fun that day, that the time passed and the teen team meeting was over. I was unhappy, but I knew that the next team meeting was only a couple of weeks away. I can’t wait until the next book discussion, because I know that there will be more amazing book selections. I also got the opportunity to make a lot of friends!
