Join us January 27 at 4 p.m. for our Bookworms Book Club for kids, where we’ll discuss Apple Crush, the graphic novel by Lucy Knisley.

In Apple Crush (the sequel to Stepping Stones), Jen is just getting used to her life on Peapod Farm with her new stepsisters, Andy and Reese. But when the school year starts, there are even more changes in store for her. Jen has to navigate new friends and new challenges–but at least she’ll have Andy with her, right? As she starts the sixth grade, she finds that her stepsister seems way more interested in crushes and boys than hanging out with her, while Jen wants to know when the world decided boys and girls couldn’t be “just friends” anymore.
