We are reading Children of Blood and Bone by Tomi Adeyemi! The African fantasy tells the story of Zélie Adebola as she tries to bring magic back to the West African-inspired kingdom of Orïsha after a ruthless king wiped out her people.

Reading begins tomorrow! Below are some thoughts as you begin reading

• What was your first impression of the Zélie?

• Have you been following the film adaptation? And what are your thoughts around the aesthetic of the film vs the book?

• Did the opening of chapter 1 immediately hook you?
