Queen of the Sea Learn-At-Home Pack (Grades 5-8)

Queen of the Sea is a charming coming-of-age tale inspired by real historical events. The Publishers Weekly review says is better than I can: "Meconis offers an atmospheric alternate history inspired by the childhood and succession of Queen Elizabeth I in this quietly ambitious graphic novel…Art in soft, earthy colors brings this singular story to life in styles ranging from simple line drawings to elaborately styled text illuminations. The island world is richly developed, both in its physical particulars and its close-knit community...and Margaret proves herself an endearing heroine with a strong voice full of humor and wonder. Her perspective transforms a storm-wracked rock into a vibrant world of hidden treasures." This Learn-At-Home Pack includes:

• Queen of the Sea by Dylan Meconis
• A set of lesson plans, activities, and worksheets encouraging language arts skills as well as historical research.
