Wild About Books is starting a Summer Reading Club for grade school and middle school readers.

Come to the bookshop on Saturday mornings between 10 a.m. and 11 a.m. to receive an advanced reader's copy of a new book that will be coming out in the near future.

Read it, write a short review, bring the book back the following Saturday and get another one.

Your reviews will be posted on Wild About Books' Web site, www.wildaboutbooks.net , and in the store.

The club will be active through Aug. 29.

Wild About Books is located at 14290 Olympic Drive, Clearlake, telephone 707-994-9453.

A 1:30 p.m. matinee and a 7:30 p.m. screening will highlight an assortment of “slices of life” of Indians in India and the U.S.

The 15-minute, Academy Award-nominated “Little Terrorist” by Ashvin Kumar is the story of a Pakistani boy who accidentally crosses the mine-strewn India-Pakistan border where he finds himself stranded.

Another short film in the lineup is “Good Night” by Geetika Narang, where we follow a retired engineer and lover of Hindi film and music. The story begins at night when he has just finished planning his new routine, but is nagged by a forgotten melody. As the sleepless night progresses, even the mundane acquires a nostalgic significance. “Good Night” is a festival winner around the world.

With “Saving Mom and Dad,” by Kartik Singh, 8-year-old Ravi Malhotra learns at his school that non-believers in Christ will go to hell. Knowing his parents are not Christian, his challenge is “Saving Mom and Dad.”

Ravi deals with identity issues as a child of immigrants, desire to fit in with the majority, shame at being different, and ultimately to formulate and defend his own point of view.

Finally, guest Tedde McMillen, author of “Million Dollar Cup of Tea,” will share her adventures of drinking chai tea in India. Coyote will screen Bollywood music videos as they mingle and sample free chai tea with McMillen.

Calpine Geothermal Visitors Center is located at 15500 Central Park Road in Middletown. There is plenty of parking, restrooms, great sound and a great screening room.

Tickets are $10 at the door and $5 for kids 16 and under. Fresh popcorn and concessions also will be available.
