Book Club August Selection Johnny Kellock Died Today by Hadley Dyer
	Synopsis: It’s a long, hot Halifax summer in 1959 and twelve-year-old Rosalie Norman has a guilty secret. Her no-nonsense, authoritarian mother has broken her ankle—and it’s all Rosalie’s fault. But news that Johnny, her teenaged cousin, has vanished pushes the accident from everyone’s minds. As Rosalie and David—her strange new neighbour—search the city for Johnny, Rosalie discovers something about the love and the secrets that bind her family.

"Narrated in the first-person, Rosalie's voice is bright, witty and in the end, infinitely wise. The story moves forward in a meandering, exploratory fashion that, in a sense, mimics the ethereal quality of a summer afternoon....Hadley Dyer brings us characters who are full of life. Through her clean, evocative imagery, Dyer renders a touching picture of Halifax in the 1950's."

--CM Magazine

“I can read pretty well and I know ever
so many pieces of poetry off by heart--`
The Battle of Hohenlinden' and `Edinburgh after Flodden,' and `Bingen of the Rhine,' and lost of the `Lady of the Lake' and most of `The Seasons' by James Thompson. Don't you just love poetry that gives you a crinkly feeling up and down your back? There is a piece in the Fifth Reader-- `The Downfall of Poland'--that is just full of thrills. Of course, I wasn't in the Fifth Reader--I was only in the Fourth--but the big girls used to lend me theirs to read."
– Anne Shirley, Anne of Green Gables
