Description

What if a fun game turned into something far more dangerous and real? And how would you cope being told your life is cursed and then being whisked to a magical land?

In this episode, Lewis chats about the tense adventures and puzzles of Escape Room by Christopher Edge, whilst Florence reveals the magic and colourful characters of Nevermoor: The Trials of Morrigan Crow by Jessica Townsend.

These are the questions for this episode (answers at the end of the video version).

1. In Escape Room, what civilisation do the children visit? And do you know any other books that feature different civilisations?
2. Florence says the character of Morrigan isn't just good or bad, but she is in a 'grey' area - what does that tell us about Morrigan?
3. Discuss - with a partner or as a class - which of these two books you'd enjoy the most and why.
