  • 3. When the students attempt to create theirown spells to protect Felim from assassins,each puts a piece of himself into the mix.What kind of spell would you create if youneeded to protect someone? How would itwork and how would it reflect who you are?

    4. By creating their own protection spells, the sixstudents are breaking the University rules. Whenis it okay to break the rules, and when should theybe obeyed? How do you know the difference?

    5. Elda is a griffin, which is a creature that is parteagle, part lion, and part human. Claudia is amix of the Empire race and Marshfolk race.How does being of mixed-race heritage affectthese students? Name an instance where theysuffer from discrimination. Name an instancewhere having diverse backgrounds helps them.

    6. After Elda bravely carries Wizard Corkoran tocapture the assassins, he plays the hero withoutgiving her even a word of thanks. Elda achesfrom the work but also from the hurt of beingtreated badly by Corkoran. She says she suffersmost from disillusionment. What does she meanby this? When have you ever felt disillusioned?

    About Year of the Griffin:Its been eight years since the Wizards

    University was rescued from the last of its PilgrimPartiesstaged tours where paying participantsvisited frightening outer realms. But the schoolsproblems are far from over. The buildings arefalling apart, the staff and students are disgruntled,and the university is nearly broke. To top it off,the new first-year class includes a runaway prince,a golden griffin, a revolutionary dwarf, and a cast ofothers who are studying to become wizards whilerunning for their lives. In this exciting sequel toDark Lord of Derkholm, six students must face theirdarkest fears and try to survive.

    For Discussion:1. Each of the six students comes to the

    University to learn about wizardry, but all butElda must keep their studies a secret in orderto stay out of danger. What risks do Felim,Ruskin, Claudia, Olga, and Lukin each face?Why is it worth it to them to risk the dangersahead? How are the dangers they face similar?

    2. When Derk pays a visit to his daughter Elda,he explains that the faculty doesnt encouragecreative thinking. He advises the students thatfor every one way of doing things...there areusually ten more and to examine everythingyou're taught. What does he mean by thisadvice? Why is examining what is taughtimportant? When does it hurt the students todo so? Is it worth it to challenge what theyhave been taught? Why or why not?

    7. Elda is very close to her parents and her siblings,who bond together to help save the Universityand their friends. On the other hand, Olga isembarrassed to be related to her father, an evilpirate, although she says she still loves him, ina twisty sort of way. What does she mean bythis? Are there other members of the groupwho cant get along with their families but stillcare for them? Why do they feel this way?

    8. After Olga and Lukin pretend to be engagedto make the deal with the dwarfs, Olga isangry with Lukin. Why do you think she isupset? When Lukin can't understand it, whatdo you think his friends mean by if you don'tknow, we cant tell you?

    9. Wizard Corkoran is never concerned with theeffects of the spells or actions he produceshes only interested in making time for his owninterests. On the other hand, Querida uses herwizardry to fix the problems of the past andmake the world habitable again. Discuss howthese wizards view their powers differently.How could Corkoran have prevented some ofthe problems that befell him if he had beenmore like Querida?

    10. Toward the end, Claudia and Lukin bothresolve their jinxes. How do they do it? Doyou think people create their own jinxes?Think of a jinx that you have that you mightbe able to solve by yourself.
