🌙❄️ Master Class: Sun and Moon, Ice and Snow by Jessica Day George
Get ready to journey into a world of enchanted castles, talking animals, trolls, impossible bargains, and a mysterious white bear!
Join us for wassail and cinnamon rolls as we have a cozy discussion!!
Sun and Moon, Ice and Snow is a fairy-tale adventure about a girl who leaves her family behind and travels with a great white bear to a strange castle. As she begins to uncover its secrets, she discovers that some choices have consequences—and sometimes fixing a mistake takes even more courage than making the right choice in the first place.
📖 Your Assignment
As you read, pay attention to the choices the characters make—especially when they don’t have all the information they wish they had.
Come prepared to discuss questions like:
• What makes the lass willing to leave home with the white bear?
• When is curiosity a good thing—and when can it get us into trouble?
• What role do promises play in the story?
• Which characters can be trusted? How do you know?
• How does the lass change from the beginning of the story to the end?
• What does she sacrifice for the people she loves?
• What do you think the story says about courage, loyalty, and love?
• If you had been in the lass’s place, what would you have done differently?
Be ready to share your ideas and back them up with moments from the book.
🎒 What to Bring
Your copy of Sun and Moon, Ice and Snow (or access to it).
A few thoughts, questions, favorite moments, or characters you’d like to talk about.
🌙 One question to think about before you come:
If breaking a promise causes terrible consequences, how far should you have to go to make things right?
Come ready to share your ideas, hear different perspectives, and spend some time in a world of snow, magic, trolls, and fairy tales.
See you at Master Class! 🐻❄️📚
