Moving Minds Book Club: Weekly Discussions of Audrey Covington Breaks the Rules

Welcome to the Moving Minds Book Club! Are you an avid reader looking for a dynamic and engaging way to dive deeper into the books you're reading? Join us for a weekly journey through the pages of Audrey Covington Breaks the Rules by Karina Evans, where each session offers an opportunity to discuss and dissect a new portion of the book.

A summary of "Audrey Covington Breaks the Rules" by Karina Evans from goodreads.com 
"A grandmother-granddaughter duo set off on the Hollywood adventure of a lifetime in this funny middle-grade novel about breaking rules, growing up, and finding yourself—perfect for fans of Wendy Mass and Booki Vivat.
Audrey Covington’s parents are the textbook definition of strict—they don’t let Audrey stay up late or watch scary movies, and they definitely don’t let her go anywhere unsupervised. Audrey knows it’s best to just accept the way it is. But her friends decide her parents’ rules are getting in the way of all their fun and unceremoniously disinvite her from their annual start-of-summer slumber party so they aren’t tied down by boring Audrey.
Now Audrey is stuck helping her parents move her former movie star grandmother into a luxury retirement community. When she finally manages to sneak off to her parents’ car to check her phone, her grandmother climbs into the driver’s seat and speeds off—not realizing Audrey is still in the back seat! After startling each other, they come to a deal: Audrey promises not to tell her parents where her grandma is if Audrey can join in on one last grand adventure—no rules allowed. But as the two make their way across Hollywood, they realize that the life they think they want might not be what they need."


Each week, you'll be in charge of reading 2 chapters outside of class to be ready to discuss and analyze together! Whether you're new to talking about books you're enjoying or love to give detailed descriptions after every read, this class is for you. Although our discussions are student-led, I will be there to ensure our environment is safe for everyone and provide thought-provoking guidance for our conversations. 

Our schedule would look like this:
Week 1: Meet and Greet! We will get to know the members of our book club, establish rules that suit the group, and develop goals for our time together. You are not expected to start reading your book before this class but you are expected to have it! AFTER this class, read chapters 1 and 2 (35 pages) before the next class.
