Wings of Fire Book Club 14

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:

Snowfall didn't expect to be queen of the IceWings at such a young age, but now that she is, she's going to be the best queen ever. All she has to do is keep her tribe within IceWing territory, where it's safe -- while keeping every other tribe out, where they belong.

It's a perfect and simple plan, backed up by all the IceWing magic Snowfall can find. That is, until a storm of unidentified dragons arrives on her shore, looking for asylum.

The foreigners are completely strange and, Snowfall is certain, utterly untrustworthy. But as she escorts the miserable new tribes out of her kingdom, Snowfall is forced to reconsider her plan. Maybe she can only keep her tribe safe . . . if she's willing to risk everything.
