In this class, we will be discussing the adventures of Abby as she and her brother, Jonah, get sucked into a magical mirror into the story of the Little Mermaid. They are excited at first, but quickly realize that things aren't as they had hoped. Now, they have a list of things to get done in hopes of making sure that the story gets the happy ending it needs. But can they get everything done and still find a way back home? Let's find out together! 

Class will consist of instructor-directed discussion. Discussion topics will include the reader's favorite moments in the story, parts of the story they found scary, or who their favorite characters were and why. The class will conclude with a review of our feelings and opinions as we decide if we would recommend this book to a friend. We will also be discussing different literary elements as they arise such as theme, setting, and climax. Book reports and a list of literary elements will be available in the classroom during the class session.
