Join today and start earning points redeemable for some great prizes! National Book Award and Newbery Honor winner Polly Horvath visits to discuss My 100 Adventures with Club Read members and talk about her new book Northward to the Moon, which continues the story of Jane from My 100 Adventures.  Jane is 12 years old and ready for adventure, to move beyond the world of her siblings and single mother and their house by the sea. Over the summer, adventures do seem to find her, whether it’s a thrilling ride in a hot-air balloon, the appearances of a slew of possible fathers, or a weird new friendship with a preacher and psychic wannabe. Most important, there’s Jane’s discovery that lies at the heart of all great adventures: it’s not what happens to you that matters, but what you learn about yourself.  Polly Horvath will sign all of her books.  She is the author of twelve books, including Everything on a Waffle.
