It's Nutmeg Time! Let's Meet Mrs. Moody!

Mrs. Moody is our Nutmeg Expert Extraordinaire.  Let's find out what she's been up to:

Q.  Hello Mrs. Moody.  What have you been reading for the Nutmeg Book Discussion?



A. Where the Mountain meets the Moon. It's about this girl, Minli, who is trying to find the old man in the moon so that she can bring fortune to her family. 

Q.  What kinds of things did you do in your book discussion?

A.  We ate oolong noodles with chopsticks and we drank green tea and ate swedish fish.  We answered round robin trivia based on the book and we had a raffle!


Q. Who is that in the glass bowl?

A. It's my pet fish -  Jeffrey.  He was at the booktalk. 

Q. Grace Lin is a wonderful author, what other books has she written?

A. She wrote The Year of the Dog, The Year of the Rat, Dumpling Days and now she has a new book called Starry River of the sky.  





Q. Wow, what book will you be discussing next?

A.  We will be discussing The Mostly True Adventures of Homer P. Figg by Rodman Philbrick. On March 14th we will have our discussion (and pizza too, Jeffrey will be there).


Goodbye Mrs. Moody!
