Woking Cahtterbooks January 2019

The book we have been reading this month is 'Jake Atlas and the hunt for the Feathered God'

by Rob Lloyd-Jones.

This is an adventure story about Jake Atlas, his twin sister Pan, and their parents who are treasure hunters.
In order to save their friend, the groups tech-wizard Sami from the clutches of the Snake People, the Atlas family have to travel to the rain forests of Honduras to find the Emerald tablet for the evil Snake Woman in return for the antidote to the poison she has used on Sami.  

Dare-devil Jake is always getting into trouble with his parents for taking risks-but sometimes he is just the boy for the job!

We were surprised that this action packed adventure did not go down as well as we thought it might.

We then did a treasure hunt in the library. The group had to find the Aztec symbols hidden in the library from a set of clues, translate them into letters of the alphabet and then work out together what word they spelled out.
Although they are getting very good at following the clues and finding the hidden symbols, it took quite a while to find the secret word: EMERALD!

After that we used the story dice to create stories. Somehow they always seemed to feature Donald Trump!
