Barbara hosted the meeting this evening. The books we discussed were
Charlotte's Web by E.B. White
Some Pig. Humble. Radiant. These are the words in Charlotte's
Web, high up in Zuckerman's barn. Charlotte's spiderweb tells of her
feelings for a little pig named Wilbur, who simply wants a friend. They
also express the love of a girl named Fern, who saved Wilbur's life when
he was born the runt of his litter.
the beloved, classic story of a mentally disabled man whose
experimental quest for intelligence mirrors that of Algernon, an
extraordinary lab mouse. In poignant diary entries, Charlie tells how a
brain operation increases his IQ and changes his life. As the
experimental procedure takes effect, Charlie's intelligence expands
until it surpasses that of the doctors who engineered his metamorphosis.
The experiment seems to be a scientific breakthrough of paramount
importance--until Algernon begins his sudden, unexpected deterioration.
Will the same happen to Charlie?
Danny the Champion of the World by Roald Dahl
The much-loved tale of how Danny and his father outwitted the mean Mr
Victor Hazell. Danny thinks his dad is the most marvellous and exciting
father a boy could wish for. Life is happy and peaceful in their gipsy
caravan, until one day Danny discovers his dad has been breaking the
law. What's more, soon Danny has to join his father as they attempt to
pull off a daring and devilish plot against horrible, red-faced Mr
Victor Hazell...
