This monthly book group is for middle-grade readers, and features discussions and fun activities. This month, we're reading the graphic novel Picture Day by Sarah Sax. Seventh-grader Viv never looks forward to picture day. It’s just another day where she wears a boring braid and no one notices her. (Her two best friends, Milo and Al, don’t count, of course.) But enough is enough. This year, she’s taking matters into her own hands. Literally. Viv grabs a pair of scissors, her phone for live-streaming, and, well, bye-bye braid. Suddenly Viv is an over-night influencer at Brinkley Middle School. Everyone wants her help planning their next big moment—from haircuts, to dance proposals, activist rallies and mathlete championships. She hardly even has time for her friends anymore. It’s exactly how she dreamed of reinventing herself…right? Copies of the book will be available at South Boston Branch's circulation desk starting August 25. This program is for ages 9-12. No registration required.
