This curriculum guide is intended to be used as a daily planner and companion teaching guide for the Young Adult fiction book, Reggie & Ryssa and the Summer Camp of Faery by Bo Savino. Each outlined lesson in this guide has been created to take one or more days to complete. Each lesson is designed with optional cross-curricular activities so that you may immerse the students into the study of the book, and relate the topics and themes to activities to create a lasting impression. Dependent upon your style of teaching, there are a variety of activities to choose from, including reproducibles, class discussion, quizzes, and activities. Very few of the activities require outside materials or resources to complete. A handful more may require outside data resources (library, newspapers, internet connection). There are 15 daily lessons and activity plans. Combined with the optional cross-curricular activities and reproducibles, you can select a combination to produce a Unit from 3 to 6-1/2 weeks, depending on what best suits your needs.

Perfect strangers. A perfect vacation. The perfect murder. . . . “Hugely effective and entertaining [with] many twists and shocks” (TheTimes, London). Three British couples meet around the pool on their Florida holiday and become fast friends. But on Easter Sunday, the last day of their vacation, tragedy strikes: The fourteen-year-old daughter of an American vacationer goes missing, and her body is later found floating in the mangroves. When the shocked couples return home to the United Kingdom, they remain in contact, and over the course of three increasingly fraught dinner parties they come to know one another better. But they don’t always like what they find. Buried beneath these apparently normal exteriors are some unusual kinks and unpleasant vices. Then, a second girl goes missing, in Kent—not far from where the couples live. Could it be that one of these six has a secret far darker than anybody can imagine? Ambitiously plotted and laced with dark humor, Rush of Blood is a “sizzling thriller” by the international bestselling author of the Tom Thorne Novels (The Globe and Mail, Toronto).
