** NOTE: Please ensure that your child has their own copy of these books - either the graphic novels or the individual comic issues, both are fine! (If you are an Amazon Prime member, they are also available via Kindle Unlimited.) ** Beware the kitten holy! In this six-week book club, Lumberjanes fans of all stripes will join a virtual Roanoke Cabin with their very own camp counselor Jen to talk about the first three graphic novels in the series (Beware The Kitten Holy; Friendship to The Max; and A Terrible Plan), and all the amazing adventures at Miss Quinzella Thiskwin Penniquiqul Thistle Crumpet’s Camp for Hardcore Lady Types. Learners will answer questions about their favorite characters, storylines, monsters, and more! We will also discuss the characters’ development, friendships, and challenges. Though this book club will have a set of provided questions sent ahead of time to get learners thinking and help get the discussion ball rolling, this will be a flexible, fun, and open discussion - learners will be given the opportunity to share their own opinions on the books and storylines, and ask their own questions. The book club will also be a low-pressure environment - everyone will be encouraged to participate at their own comfort level! Throughout the book club, learners will also be encouraged (though not required!) to create their own Lumberjanes badge designs, fan art, fan fiction storylines, alternate covers, etc., and share them with the cabin. Class schedule: Week 1 - Vol. 1: Beware The Kitten Holy, chapters 1-2 Week 2 - Vol. 1: Beware The Kitten Holy, chapters 3-4 Week 3 - Vol. 2: Friendship to The Max, chapters 5-6 Week 4 - Vol. 2: Friendship to The Max, chapters 7-8 Week 5 - Vol. 3: A Terrible Plan, chapters 9-10 Week 6 - Vol. 3: A Terrible Plan, chapters 11-12 *If you don’t see a time that works for you/your child, feel free to contact me or send me a schedule request!*
