Book Club Kit is designed to be a companion to Rachel Joyce's MISS BENSON'S BEETLE, the top pick for the November 2020 Library Reads selections. This work of historical fiction (set in 1950) is an adventure story (mainly on an island in the South Pacific) involving an unlikely friendship; the title also received a starred review from Library Journal ("a delightful book ... sure to be a hit with book clubs") and Publishers Weekly. The Book Club Kit appears similar to the discussion questions which appear in the novel, but there is plenty in this roughly 20 page "kit:" "interviews" with the main characters and the author (whose earlier work includes The Unlikely Pilgrimage of Harold Fry), map, food, drinks and a list of related movies. It's a great idea to have it here on Net Galley, too!
