This month's book club gathering invites kids ages 9–12 to explore *How to Train Your Dragon* by Cressida Cowell alongside peers who share their love of reading. The story follows Hiccup, a thoughtful Viking who must prove himself by training a dragon—a task that's equal parts humorous and heroic. It's a perfect fit for young readers who enjoy adventure and discovering unconventional ways to solve problems. Beyond discussing the book, the group engages in interactive activities designed to build confidence and foster meaningful conversation. If your child enjoys diving into stories, connecting with other readers, and gaining a boost in self-assurance through group participation, this is worth checking out. Registration opens in mid-September for the November session. For details or questions, reach out to Katie Lipshultz, the Library Program Specialist, at 704-878-3090 ext. 3097 or via email.
