Firefly Hollow – Family Dinner Book Club

Firefly Hallow dinner menu from ChefSarahElizabeth.com

Our Family Dinner Book Club selection for the month of July is Firefly Hollow by Alison McGhee. Here you’ll find a menu that can be prepared with the help of your children, and will hopefully be a fun and interactive activity for the whole family. Head over to Growing Book by Book for some talking points to get the conversation started as well as an idea for a family service project. Then visit Sunny Day Family for a fun craft. We invite you to share a picture from your dinner with us anytime during the month on our Family Dinner Book Club Facebook page.

Firefly Hollow is the story of a firefly and cricket who are unlike all the other fireflies and crickets in their families. They become friends with each other, a river vole, and a “miniature giant” much to the chagrin of their elders. They embark on the adventure of learning and accepting who they each truly are, as well as the adventure of growing. Their miniature giant friend, Peter, inspired part of our menu today with the snacks he brought to share when they were about to sail away on his raft. We’re also dining on fish, which is the dinner Vole made for Firefly and Cricket every night that they lived together. Firefly loves to snack on snails, so you’ll also see some snails in this month’s menu!

  1. Call me crazy, but is there a link for recipe for the Veggie Tortilla Snails? Is the avocado Summer Slaw what is in the Snails? I can’t tell from the picture.

    Also is there a recipe for the Salt-Crusted Salmon? I don’t cook much fish, do you just lather in salt and bake?
