Join our On the Edge of the Dark Sea of Darkness book study and work on your T.H.A.G.S. (the Three Honored And Great Subjects) just like Janner, Tink and Leeli. You probably have already read this great book (its so hard to put down once you start reading). But let's go a little deeper into this adventure with some great group discussion and make your own T.H.A.G.S.  notebook. This class meets twice a week for four weeks. Each session you will need to read 5 chapters before class to be ready for the group discussion. During class we will talk about what we read, review vocabulary, have a lesson about a novel component (like character development, setting and plot) and fill in our notebook. The notebook will be a combination of vocabulary, creative writing, and drawing.
