Tween Book Club: ‘Frizzy’ by Claribel A. Ortega

Friday, February 9, 2024
4:00 pm - 5:00 pm

Sometimes reading is more fun when you have others to talk to. Registering for this program puts you on a list to pick up a free copy of this month’s club pick, Frizzy by Claribel A. Ortega.

Register for this program to get your copy of the book. If you can’t pick it up at Newport, tell us your location choice using the special needs section of the registration form.
Starting January 12th, pick up your book from the library.
Read and enjoy the book at your own pace.
Come chat about this month’s book and other books you love in person or online on February 9th at 4:00 pm at the Newport Branch or via Zoom.

This book club is for ages 8-14.

If you prefer to join via Zoom, let us know in the notes section and a link will be sent.

Marlene loves three things: books, her cool Tía Ruby and hanging out with her best friend Camila. But according to her mother, Paola, the only thing she needs to focus on is school and “growing up.” That means straightening her hair every weekend so she could have “presentable”, “good hair”.

But Marlene hates being in the salon and doesn’t understand why her curls are not considered pretty by those around her. With a few hiccups, a dash of embarrassment, and the much-needed help of Camila and Tia Ruby―she slowly starts a journey to learn to appreciate and proudly wear her curly hair.

Please note any accommodation requests in the Special Needs section of the registration form.

We encourage adults to remain in the library but to allow their tween/teen to attend the program alone – only if both are comfortable. If an adult must be present, they must sit with the tween/teen.

If you have any questions, please contact Jessi at jholloway@cc-pl.org.
