If you’re looking for a\u00a0summer reading book for your\u00a0middle grade child\u00a0or a book you can read aloud a chapter at a time as\u00a0\u00a0I like to do with my kids, A Clatter of Jars<\/em><\/strong> <\/a>by Lisa Graff<\/a> might be a perfect fit. Set in a town near me, Poughkeepsie, New York,\u00a0\u00a0this book takes place at Camp Atropos. This camp for talented kids might just be a recipe for disaster!<\/p>\n A Clatter of Jars<\/em> is the companion book to A Tangle of Knots<\/em>. For the kids heading off to Camp Atropos, it should be a summer filled with campfires, sing-a-longs, swimming in the lake and of course a place to practice for the Talent Show. However, it just might not turn out that way because the camp director wants to keep the real reason they are at the camp a secret and she will do almost anything to keep it that way.<\/p>\n
