•	Red Sails to Capri by Ann Weil is a hidden gem of a book.  This Newberry Honor book is set on the island of Capri off the coast of Italy and surrounds the arrival of a boat with red sails.  Arriving during winter, an off-season for guests, the three travelers cause quite a stir as they become interested in a mysterious cove.  No one speaks of the cove, and definitely, no one GOES to the cove, but these travelers are determined to change all of that.  Follow along with Michele as he discovers adventure, beauty, and knowledge through the eyes of these three travelers. 

•	The Lion the Witch and the Wardrobe by C.S. Lewis is the first book written in the famous Chronicles of Narnia series.  In this story, we travel with the Pevensie children as they stumble into the amazing world of Narnia, a world of talking animals, spying trees, and an evil witch masquerading as the Queen of Narnia.  This amazing story of sacrifice and redemption focuses mainly on Edmund, the brother/traitor who is willing to trade his siblings for a room full of Turkish delight, and realizes, almost too late, what his betrayal could mean to his siblings.   During our book discussions of The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe, I will focus on C.S. Lewis' skill as an amazing writer, a great example for your young writer to emulate, instead of the supposed allegory embedded in this story.  This series has six more books and, when we finish this course, your learner will be chomping at the bit to read them all.
