Lee, Billy and Bella
are students at St. Orlok’s Elementary School but they are not your average
students, they are vampires. There has been a series of robberies at all the
schools in the neighborhood. The students are going on a trip to the county
fair but are worried their school will be robbed while they are away. The three
students team up with the students at other schools to try to catch the
robbers.
The features of this book that make
it science fiction are the schools. Each group of fictional characters has
their own school. For example, Lee is friends with werewolves that go to their
own school down the street. The book shows some realistic features such as
humans that have their own schools and towns. They are referred to as Fangless
people. The book creates a world that all different kinds of people live in.
This could be the start of a lesson about diversity that is presented in a new
way by using characters that are very different but still a bit believable.
Before I even read when you said that this could be a good book for diversity, I said it to myself. Was this book a good example for our last weeks homework where we discussed diversity?
ReplyDeleteI thought the same thing! It worked so well with our assignment last week. I like that it shows a different example of diversity then what we are used to.
