The Falcon’s Malteser

Tomorrow is the second-to-last 6th grade book group meeting of this school year, and we’ll be discussing Anthony Horowitz’s The Falcon’s Malteser.  I had a moment of inspiration tonight, and checked the library catalog to see if The Maltese Falcon, starring Humphrey Bogart, was on hand and available – and it is (Jennifer is pulling it off the shelves for me right now).  So tomorrow I’ll bring in my copy of Dashiell Hammett’s The Maltese Falcon (given to me by my big brother years ago, in a very cool slipcase that he made), and I’ll bring in my laptop to play a scene from the movie, and then we’ll discuss the Horowitz book.  I have a feeling that these three ingredients will make for a fun book discussion…we’ll find out tomorrow whether I’m right about that!
