The Nutmeg Book Club Homeschool Edition is a book club for homeschool children ages 8-12. We will aim to read and discuss as many of the 2024 Nutmeg Book Award Intermediate Nominees as we can, before voting ends. The Nutmeg Book Award winners are chosen by the youth of Connecticut. Students have until April of 2024 to read the nominees and then vote on their favorite.

During book club we will, eat snacks, discuss what we read, and complete fun activities! We will be reading Leonard (My Life as a Cat) by Carlie Sorosiak this month. Registration is required at https://forms.gle/VieH5wnwxmBxbEuP6.

About the book: Leonard is an alien visiting earth…as a cat. Taken in by animal lover, Olive, he has 30 days to travel 2,000 miles to his rendezvous point, or he’ll be stuck on Earth forever…as a cat. But after he grows close to Olive, is home with her or with his species?
