I have taught many book studies in my professional career. I am currently running multiple novel studies on Outschool that have been met with great success and interest. I love taking part in discussions and ensuring that the students' needs and interests are met as they read. The Inheritance Series is one of my favorites of all time. I hope to share my love of this series with students!

Here is the link to the first three novels in the series for your review!
