Wings of Fire Book Club 9

Kids are crazy for this New York Times bestselling series, Wing of Fire. During our meetings we'll explore themes of free will verse fate, expectations (both of oneself and that others have for one), responsibility, and much more. We'll also look at storytelling elements such as plot, character, and POV; great for confident readers to try on their own or to read with a parent.

We'll spend a little time talking about the book, and then play our role-playing game that reinforces social and leadership skills, problem-solving skills, creative thinking skills, and even get some practice with math.

Choose the chapter book or graphic novel.

About the book:

For every villain, there is a hero ...Turtle isn't one of the heroes he reads about in stories. If he were, he'd use his animus powers to help Pyrrhia -- instead of keeping his abilities a secret, even from his own sister. Now that Darkstalker, the sinister and impossibly old dragon from Pyrrhia's most notorious legends, has returned, Turtle knows his own role is simple: hide. And stay hidden.The more he watches Darkstalker from the shadows, the more Turtle knows that someone needs to stop the powerful dragon. A real hero. But Turtle is running out of time to find one, which means ... he might have to try to save the day himself.
