This will be a fun filled discussion about The Keeper of the Lost Cities, Book 1. The conversations can be serious, sad or funny – depending which part of the book we are discussing. The conversation will be lively, with a lot of opportunities for the students to discuss the books with each other, and me.
The Keepers of the Lost Cities is a series of books that are fun and interesting books to read! Because I am passionate about reading comprehension, I ask several reading comprehension questions to make sure the student is understanding the material they are reading. When the student understands the story, he or she can theorize how the story ends. Or they can theorize about why things happened the way they did in the book. I want reading to be fun, and The Keepers of the Lost Cities is a great series to have the student read and find enjoyable. I hope this will help foster the love of reading. In my previous teaching experiences, I have focused on reading comprehension with great success.

This book is suggested for children ages 9 +. My class minimum age is 10. Information from https://www.commonsensemedia.org/book-reviews/keeper-of-the-lost-cities-book-1 states: “Parents need to know that Shannon Messenger's debut novel, Keeper of the Lost Cities, is imaginative, well-crafted, and engaging, with a strong girl protagonist and plenty of interesting supporting characters. From the beginning, 12-year-old Sophie is in danger from forces threatened by her existence, and only gradually becomes aware of them in scary incidents, including multiple kidnapping attempts. In addition, she's traumatized by being torn from the human family that raised her and transported to the elf world to start a completely different life, and this is portrayed so effectively that it may be too emotionally intense for some young readers. With those caveats, the book has much to offer in the way of imaginative issues and plot twists, not to mention credible, appealing role models showing loyalty, friendship, and courage.” Parents should consider their child to determine if they think they are ready to read this book and join this class discussion.
