The 10 Minute Book Club is hosted by best-selling author and award winning bookseller Gráinne O&#39;Brien &amp; author Lucas Maxwell. In ten minutes or less, we review children&#39;s books to help busy kids and adults find stories young readers will love. With 25 years of combined experience helping children connect to books, and as children&#39;s book authors ourselves, we&#39;re passionate about helping kids discover the books that will shape them and stay with them for the rest of their lives. And we&#39;re doing it fast, because that&#39;s all the time we&#39;ve got.
