Description

This book club will be hosted by an external partner at Emma Donnan.


Join our after-school book club where middle school students read, reflect, and talk about real-life situations that impact young people.


Students will read the book, The Playground by 50 Cent.


Playground is a 2011 young adult novel co-authored by rapper 50 Cent (Curtis Jackson III) and Lizzi Akana, focusing on themes of bullying and redemption. Loosely based on 50 Cent’s own childhood, the story follows a 13-year-old bully named Butterball who confronts his behavior while in detention


Participants will receive gift bags and a chance to win an IPAD.


Must be ages 11-14 to participate. Must attend 80% of the sessions to be eligible for the IPAD.
