The Last Spell Breather by Julie Pike - Ideas for discussion and activities

In this stunning fantasy story, enter the
unique world of the Spell Breathers!

Spell breathing does not come naturally to Rayne—she hates the hours of practice, the stacks of scrolls, and the snapping mud devils that cover her mother’s precious spell book.

But it is spell breathing that keeps her village safe from the dreaded monster curse that plagues their world. It is ancient powerful magic, but as Rayne learns to her horror, it is also fragile.

In one clumsy move, the magic that keeps them safe is broken, her village is plunged into danger, and an incredible adventure begins…

Ultimately it is a story of friendship, courage,
and the power of believing in yourself.
