Teen Scene: Our last book club meeting had a small, but very enthusiastic group who discussed the spooky titles they had selected to read for Halloween. The discussion was lively, and everyone's reading list got longer after the meeting. This month, we are taking a break from crafting in lieu of a few weeks of creative writing. We will discuss a weekly theme, present a few tips on crafting a unique and well-written story.
