![]() ![]() Chee has crafted a compelling story that plays on words and begs her readers to ask questions about the power of words and books to control facts, truth, and history. The third story is of Sefia’s parents which run parallel with Sefia’s chapters (until you realize who Lon and the Assassin really are in Chapter 29). The Reader is filled with strong female characters throughout and weaves between three different story lines. Sefia, the protagonist’s story and quest is primary. Captain Reed’s adventures written in The Book Sefia reads and is marked in a different layout embedded throughout Sefia story. Additionally, Traci Chee has embedded ten puzzles, ciphers, and clues throughout the story and I was on a hunt to uncover them all – in my second read I have identified 9 of the 10. There are so many great elements to the story that I had to reread the book again. This week my students and I will be discussing The Reader with author, Traci Chee for our upcoming monthly Twitter Book Club. ![]() So begins Traci Chee’s amazing story of pirates, magic, and the power of a book in The Reader: Book One of Sea of Ink and Gold. ![]() BECAUSE THERE’SĪND ONCE YOU KNOW TO LOOK FOR SIGNALS IN THE SMOKE,įOR SECRETS IN THE SEA, THEN YOU UNDERSTAND WHAT IT IS IF Y OU’RE READING THIS, THEN MAYBE YOU KNOW ![]()
