The public is invited to The Brookwood School Parents’ Association's “Book Bash— A Literary Adventure” to celebrate the wonder of books. For children ages 4-14.

Activities
Bigger and better than ever, this year’s Book Bash also features 17 magically designed Book Stations and real life authors and illustrators. Highlights include:

The traveling Magic School Bus, known by children and parents from Scholastic’s award-winning books, television and videos. Climb aboard the one and only magical yellow school bus famous for taking kids on some of their favorite field trips ever.

“86 Years: The Legend of the Boston Red Sox” — A special visitor from Fenway Park — Wally the Green Monster — will be on hand for photos and high fives. Also, clock your fastball and then make a splash at the dunking machine.

“Big Red Barn” — Interact with baby farm animals.

“Eragon” — Have your fortune told by professional palm and tarot card readers.

“Harry Potter” — Cheer on the Harvard Horntails Quidditch Team as they demonstrate every wizard’s favorite sport.

“If I Were a Dog” —Hands-on collaging with members of the Rose Baker Senior Center in Gloucester who created the book’s charming illustrations.

There will also be roving entertainers and a book drive. Bring new or gently used books to benefit the YMCA and Pathways for Children. There will be snacks for purchase.

Purchase tickets in advance at brookwood.edu or at the door. Children must be accompanied by an adult. Walk-ins are welcome.
