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 first meeting of the fall, where we’ll discuss JUNIUS LEAK AND THE SPIRALING VORTEX OF DOOM by Allan Wolf. This book is everything we love: part mystery, part fantasy-adventure, part real history, and did we mention pirates?!

About the Book:

When thirteen-year-old Junius Leak—expert on waterbodies and creator of the encyclopedic Amazing Waterbodies of the World—steps foot on Uncle Spot’s rickety dock on Lake Peigneur, the truth assails him: he may love waterbodies, but that doesn’t mean they love him back. When disaster strikes, Junius must dive deep within to emerge an unlikely hero. Alternating viewpoints spin the perceptions of a Highly Sensitive Person (HSP)—and the wry voice of a lake with a long memory—into an inventive tale of sunken treasure and buried secrets anchored by a dramatic true event.

Parents are welcome to stay on the Junior side or browse the adult side. Parents of children 12 and younger must remain on-site.
