Book Club Kit: The Chicken Sisters



Book Club Kit: The Chicken Sisters is one of a new series of supporting brochures and materials available for fiction and nonfiction titles from Penguin Random House Librarian Resources.  Released 11th Feb 2021 by Penguin Random House, this entry is filled with interesting background history to enhance the personal or book-club reading experience for K.J. Dell'Antonia's engaging story about the meaning of family, friendship, and female relationships, which was published in 2020. This brochure is 7 pages long and includes book discussion questions, some book related recipes, and a short Q&A interview with the author. 

I enjoy the extra resources and enhancements the larger publishing houses are able  to employ to support their publications. I also appreciate that most library systems can provide quite a lot of extra support and guidance to their patrons and groups. These materials would be appropriate for online/remote discussion groups, formal education (modern literature, sociology, culture, and allied subjects), and for enhancing personal reading. 

Five stars. Compact, succinct, and with beautiful typesetting and colorful graphics. It does -not- include the original book, just the discussion and support materials. Available free from the publisher's website.

Disclosure: I received an ARC at no cost from the author/publisher for review purposes.
