Club de lectura Un sombrero lleno de cielo

In this class, we will be discussing A Hat Full of Sky by Terry Pratchett. This is the second book in his Tiffany Aching series within the Discworld. Tiffany has been working on becoming a witch, but when a sinister monster goes after her, not even Mistress Weatherwax or the Wee Free Men stand a chance. Can Tiffany save herself when no one else even stands a chance?  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!
