About this Event
Welcome to the Reading Past Bedtime Book Club!
We are Reading Past Bedtime, the book club for kids who would rather find a flashlight than put down their latest read! We keep turning the pages on mysteries, adventures, friendship, history and more, and we love a story that makes us laugh and think. Pick up our next book and join us for discussion on the 4th Thursday of the month!
Join us for our October meeting as we solve mysteries with middle school private eye Maya Mendoza in BUBBLEGUM SHOES: The Case of the Contraband Closet!
Maya never stops paying attention. She knows who is passing notes in class, spots which teacher wears shoes a half-size too tight…and she certainly notices when her former best friend Jordan suddenly stops talking to her.
Then, the legendary Contraband Closet is robbed. Every Hotwheels car, spray paint canister, bouncy ball, and other prized possession teachers have collected since the dawn of time are seemingly lost forever--including an item of Jordan's. Suddenly, Maya sees a case that may set things back to the way it used to be because contraband--and friendships--don't vanish into thin air...right?
This is a wise-cracking start to a new mystery series from New York Times bestselling author Goldy Moldavsky.
