EDUCATION through ENTERTAINMENTA new way to explore the world of ants and bugs—and improve reading skills!

____________________________________________________________________________

This epic “science fantasy” adventure is set in a distant bioluminescent world populated by gigantic insects, but many of the characters, places, and things are inspired by some of the weirdest and most awesome insects, figures, locations, and events found on Earth!

Not only is the story filled with action, intrigue, and life lessons for youth who are coming-of-age, it is a giant looking glass revealing the amazing entomological world that surrounds us. It is education through entertainment; it is nature personified.

C L A S S R O O M U S E Challenge students to read the story and learn

new vocabulary and scientific terminology.

Encourage them to review the “DID YOU KNOW?” box at the end of each chapter to learn cool facts about the natural world.

Point students to the INSECTA: Planet of the Ants website for an interactive glossary (with links to images and videos). They will see the actual creatures that inspired the story, gain insights about the insect characters and their world, and find out what the author was thinking while crafting this amazing world.

Use the unit study ideas to build a lesson plan around the book including these learning elements: language arts, law, science, astronomy, social studies and geography, art, math, music, history, physical education, and computer science. See “For Educators” on website.

Invite the author to class to discuss the process of writing and publishing a novel.
