About this event
We’re not just reading Wilderlore , we’re entering it.
In this multi-week book club, readers will journey through the full Wilderlore series by Amanda Foody, following Barclay Thorne as he discovers a hidden world of magical creatures, powerful bonds, and the kind of choices that shape who you become.
Each book is explored across three sessions, giving us time to slow down, talk through the big moments, and build something of our own along the way, from creatures, to maps, to field guides, and more.
This is for readers who love:
• magical creatures
• immersive worlds
• stories that grow with them
• Each participant gets a Wilderlore Kit : • field journal (notebook)
• creature card starter
• bookmark
All you need to do is purchase the books and the kit, no other fee is associated with this program.
We will follow this rhythm for each book in the series:
Session 1 — Enter the Story
• Start the book read aloud
• Focus: worldbuilding, characters, questions
• Crafting
Session 2 & 3— Turning Points
• Midway
• Focus: stakes, choices, growth
• Crafting
Session 4 — Finale
• Finish the book
• Focus: reflection + creative extension
• Craft, game, or interactive activity
• Connecting themes back to their own creations
