Set against the backdrop of the Cold War, this heart-wrenching tale follows the courageous story of Gerta, a young girl whose family is tragically divided by the construction of the Berlin Wall. As Gerta navigates the challenges of life in East Berlin, she embarks on a daring quest for freedom, risking everything to reunite with her loved ones on the other side. In addition to exploring the riveting narrative of 'A Night Divided,' our book club will offer a unique opportunity for students to deepen their understanding of life behind the Iron Curtain. Through captivating life experience clips, we'll hear from an individual who grew up in Communist Poland, providing invaluable insight into the historical context and personal perspective that shaped the events depicted in the novel. These immersive experiences will enrich our discussions, fostering empathy, critical thinking, and a deeper appreciation for the resilience of individuals living under oppressive regimes. Plus, a mind-blowing story about the first time our guest speaker ever saw an American shopping cart! In addition to the historical fiction text, we will explore historical events through presentation and conversation, including: ◘Origins of the Cold War ◘Countries and notable leaders from this world conflict (including Pope John Paul II - which may be a surprise to some!) ◘The Yalta Conference ◘Spies, spies, spies: the CIA and the KGB ◘Cold War Propaganda ◘Minuteman Missile Facility ◘Checkpoint Charlie ◘Berlin Airlift We’ll end our time together with a Kahoot game where learners will identify traits of Communism vs. Capitalism. Join us as we delve into the pages of 'A Night Divided,' where bravery knows no bounds, and the human spirit shines brightest in the darkest of times. Together, we'll embark on a literary adventure that transcends borders, sparking meaningful conversations and igniting a passion for history, empathy, and the power of storytelling.

Meagan is an avid reader, but that wasn’t always the case. In school, Meagan skimmed (if we are being generous) many of the books assigned and thought reading was torture. It wasn’t until Meagan left school and discovered the freedom to choose her own books and read purely for the love of reading that she fell in love.
Meagan’s sweet spot in historical fiction and devours anything set during WWII and in Europe. She’s a passionate bookworm and eager to embark on this year-long challenge with learners.
Meagan has been leading a book club on Outschool entitled Rebel Girls Book Club: Amazing Women in Historical Fiction for about 4 years.
