The Big Read is a program...
national, regional, state-wide, who knows... in which large groups of people
read the same book and then come together for various activities to share and
discuss. Splendid! Right now, the Big Read book is Peter and the Secret of
Rundoon. It's the third in a trilogy that prequels Peter Pan. I'm reading it.
It is awesome. You should read it, too. Then, come to the U City Public library
on December 10th to talk with me about how great it is. The Big Read in January
is To Kill a Mockingbird and the little girl from the movie is gonna be here to
talk about it! Worlds collide!
Fun though they may be, the Barry/Pearson novels COMEPLETELY contradict Barrie's original stories. It's like they never even read them. Pretty sad...
