Our Boomerang Book Club has been such a success this year!
{This post contains affiliate links. Read my full disclosure.}
November’s meeting was no exception. The Outsiders by S. E. Hinton was our title for the month and these 7th and 88th-gradegirls all enjoyed the book.
The uniqueness of this book is enhanced if you read a bit of background about the author, a high school aged girl. She wrote the majority of the book the year that she received a D in Creative Writing, an interesting story in itself.
But I digress…
Each month we rotate houses and the host mom 
prepares our snack while I lead a book discussion, using our Boomerang guide and other online sources. After the books, we typically watch the movie.
This month, the girls approached me with the idea that they wanted to dress up as Greasers. I was truly tickled that they were embracing the fun and adventure of our book club meetings. I suspect this idea arose from my appearance as Effie at our Hunger Games book club in September. Of course, I agreed and decided that I would dress up as a Soc (pronounced “Sew-sh, short for Social).
Our hostess mom surprised the girls with a truly fun surprise, well known to those of us who grew up in the 80’s, but a completely new treat for these gals!
Even I enjoyed a “smoke”…

A little table decor…
After a lively discussion, the girls watched the movie, “The Outsiders” with all of the heart-throb male stars of the 80’s. And then they headed home with their parting gift, a reminder to “stay gold”.
Loved this night with these gals. So thankful for the moms who are as crazy about our Boomerang Book Club as I am.
