In this class, we will be discussing The Inheritance Games by Jennifer Lynn Barnes. Avery just wanted to finish high school and get out as soon as possible. She never imagined that she would get wrapped up in the mysterious world of a dead billionaire and his terrifying family. But now that she's been called on to stay in the family house for a year, she doesn't have much of a choice. Will Avery make it through the year or will she pack her bags and run for the hills? Join along for the adventure as we discuss this book! 

This class is broken down so that we will be reading (independently at home) and discussing the story as we go along. We will be talking about the different aspects of the book as well as the structure of the story, including the growth of the characters and the arc that the story takes. We will discuss character archetypes, as well as the elements of stories, including inciting incidents and turning points. 

Would we suggest this story to a friend? Does the author attain a goal by telling these stories? Were we scared? Would be share these tales around a campfire? Just a few of the things we will be talking about as the story unfolds!
