As the first Fall Program for the Friends of the Library, we had the children's book The Crazy Club Gets its Start read by its authors, Christie Rassuchine (Higman) and Robyn Lindner.

What makes this book series so special is that Christie and Robyn are Lake Tahoe locals and they met in kindergarten.  They base The Crazy Club on their own real club they had in elementary school.  Its nine members are characters in the books.

They read aloud their story about a group of kids that deals with bullying, acceptance, and what it feels like to be the new kid at school.

The tale kept all of us on the edge of our seats.  Afterward great questions were asked and everyone had a lot of fun.

I had to include this photo.  This gentleman was Robyn's 5th grade teacher.  How sweet is it that he came to her reading?  In addition, he expressed to me how very proud he is of her.
