Book Club for Kids
Dingeltrot is a perfect addition to any book club for kids. If a book club for kids is looking for a fresh new book to include on their list, this book fits the bill for a book club for kids.
A book club for kids includes books that are either about or meant to be read by young people, and this book fits both. Dingeltrot, a twelve-year old boy, stands thirteen inches tall. In his colony, that makes him a freak and a weirdo—not because he’s the shortest, but because he’s the tallest. In this book, a perfect addition to any book club for kids, secret colonies of “People” as they call themselves, live scattered across the globe, with few “Behemoths” as they call their bigger ancestors, knowing of their shorter cousins exist. Most People dislike and fear Behemoths, who have crowded the earth and made it nearly impossible to hide. But as in many of the books included in book clubs for kids, this book kicks into high gear and complicates when Dingeltrot accidentally learns of a dark, guarded secret. Then, he relies on his wit and inventiveness to embark on a journey that could change the world for big and small. A book club for kids will enjoy following Dingeltrot on his journey.
