Homeschoolers Book Club: Wildoak

Join us for an engaging class for students ages 7 to 12. We will be reading "Wildoak" by C. C. Harrington.

 

From the jacket: "Maggie Stephens's stutter makes school especially hard. She will do almost anything to avoid speaking in class or calling attention to herself. So when her unsympathetic father threatens to send her away for so-called "treatment," she reluctantly agrees to her mother's intervention plan: a few weeks in the fresh air of Wildoak Forest, visiting a grandfather she hardly knows. It is there, in an extraordinary twist of fate, that she encounters an abandoned snow leopard cub, an exotic gift to a wealthy Londoner that proved too wild to domesticate. But once the cub's presence is discovered by others, danger follows, and Maggie soon realizes that time is running out, not only for the leopard, but for herself and the forest as well."

 

In addition to reading the story, class sessions will include relevant math and science lessons and will also integrate personal finance activities. Register today!
