About this event

Saturday 1st August The Children's Room at The Barn, Kibworth Books Welcome to our junior bookclub! Each month, we choose a brilliant paperback read to talk about with children's book expert, librarian, former teacher and self-confessed bookworm Alyssia Chapman. Buy the book from Kibworth Books in advance and then enjoy a chat, a drink and a chance to hang out with other book-loving friends on the first Saturday of every month at the bookshop. The event is super friendly and relaxed, and aimed at children aged 8-12. August's book up for discussion is The Dad Trap by Ian Eagleton. NB: Junior Book Club takes place outside of shop opening hours so parents are welcome to drop children off for the hour and enjoy a coffee in one of the local cafes! To book your spot: Add to basket - this ticket price includes your copy of the book and refreshments. You can collect this at your convenience to read ahead of the event, or select shipping and we'll post out to you. NB: Please pop a note of your child's name and age in the 'Note to Bookseller' comment box at check out. This is just so we know who is coming!
