The book publisher Simon & Schuster is partnering with Everloop, the social media website for Tweens, to launch an interactive book club for Tweens. The idea is to connect Tweens with their favorite books, and actually speak with their authors online. The online book clus launches with two books and authors — Dork Diaries: Tales from a Not-So-Fabulous Life, by Rachel Renee Russell and SPHDZ Book (hash)1!, by Jon Scieszka. This online book club won’t get your Tweens away from their screens, but at least they’ll be reading books and discussions about books. My two kids are no longer Tweens, but if they were, I’d be signing them up.
