📚 Join Wright to Read’s Summer Book Club & Volunteer Info Session! 📚

Every summer Wright to Read hosts a book club inviting our volunteer tutor-mentors to explore a middle grade/teen novel meant to put us in the shoes of the students/mentees we work with. This year, we are excited to open it up to any potential volunteers (adults only) who would like to learn more about the program and join us for the book club discussion as well. 

This summer, we’ll be discussing Fish in a Tree or Octopus Moon—your choice! a FREE copy can be picked up at Campagna Center HQ). 

“Fish in a Tree”: This book explores themes of neurodiversity, dyslexia, self-esteem, bullying, and the importance of finding your own strengths, resonating with anyone who has felt like they don’t fit in.

“Octopus Moon”: A deeply moving middle grade novel in verse about a girl struggling with depression when she starts fifth grade amidst a sea of changes.
