I fell in love with the first Keeper of the Lost Cities book about 2 years ago and then shared the great story with my 4 daughters.  Since then we have read all the books in the series multiple times, listened to the series on Audible, and gone to see Shannon Messenger in person and had her sign several of our books!  
I graduated with a BA in English and Spanish for secondary school teaching.  I have always love reading and teaching book studies to students of all ages.  I have taught English, Spanish, ESL and religion classes to students ages 7-18 in public school and private settings. I have taught many book studies to ages 8-17 including but not limited to: The Old Man and the Sea, Where the Red Fern Grows, The Red Badge of Courage, The Great Gatsby, The Outsiders, The Scarlet Letter, Tom Sawyer, Letters From Rifka and others.  I am currently teaching a Keeper of the Lost Cities book club on Outschool for ages 9-14.  Reading is one of my passions and I love sharing that with my children and my students.
