MACLIC Book club recommends "The Recruit", first book of the CHERUB serie by Robert Muchamore

Put on the melody of "Mission impossible" in your head, and read on... We recommend this book to all medium level readers, who like adventure and spies stories.

What we really liked in "The Recruit":

• The hero does not know where he goes, nor what happens when CHERUB recruits him
• The story could be real
• It is quite deep
• It is sometimes funny too
• The illegal activities of the Mum are surprising

The down points of the book:

• There was no strong climax
• We are disturbed by the fact that the hero is not bad, not good, does he become good?

We should read the second book! We would like to find out:

• What does Cherub stand for
• The hero gets to use his computer skills, his maths abilities
• What happened to his Mum, to him in the past

There could be a film or a video game made from the book.

MACLIC book club news

We have been busy:

• Designing a logo and finding a motto, making bookmarks with it
  
• Deciding on a book we all agree to read, and starting to read it... We chose the first of the Cherub series, The Recruit, by Robert Muchamore, not original, but really cool...


• Creating a new display for the library. FANTASY is our first theme, because it is a great genre and fairly easy to illustrate. We gathered the materials we needed and designed it, with lots of glitter!
  

MACLIC Book Club is born!

So we just met and it was great. 8 keen readers, keen to share, keen to discover, keen to read. We decided:

• Our name is MACLIC Book Club
• Our logo will be an indefinite triangle with the words "Reading never stops"
• We will meet on Thursdays lunchtime, in the library
• We will read one same book and share our comments
• We will also read our own and talk about it to the group
• We will choose and set up displays for the library
• We will feed the blog, here, this one!
• We are interested in book-related competitions
• We will choose new books and meet authors
• We will have a maclic book club tea at the end of each term
• We will organise a book fair or book swap

The hardest is really to choose ONE book to all read and share. Lets bring ideas next week or post a suggestion!
