Summertime has come to Fernwood Forest, and the staff of the Heartwood Hotel must trust each other as they contend with their biggest challenge yet! Join Mona, Ms. Carol, and all friends animal and human for this exciting 4 week book club! It's summer at the Heartwood Hotel, and everyone is in a flurry getting ready for Ms. Prickles's wedding to Mr. Quillson! Meanwhile, a new mouse guest named Strawberry comes to stay. She's sweet and soft-spoken like Mona, and gifted in the kitchen just as Mona's mother was-could Strawberry be a long-lost relative? But when lightning strikes part of Fernwood Forest and starts a fire, all thoughts go to the guests and staff hurrying to leave to make sure their homes and families are safe. Mona works to protect the Heartwood from harm, but as the fire rages on, it's becoming dangerous to stay. Can Mona and her friends save their home before it's too late? In the final book of the Heartwood Hotel series by Kallie George, Mona faces her greatest challenge yet, and she might discover just what family truly means. Students will be on the edge of their seats! This class is designed to be fully interactive and students are expected to be fully engaged. There is grace for the shy or introverted, of course, but if interacting with teacher and peers is uncomfortable for your student, this class is not a good fit for them. Please read chapters BEFORE class! Chapters 1-4 Chapters 5-8 Chapters 9-12 Chapters 13-16
