A book club mystery – of course I had to explore the possibility of introducing it to my book club!
Samar and his friends find themselves in the middle of a spate of thefts – a dog, milk bottles, and even jewellery. They love reading mystery stories, so this they must investigate the mystery that surrounds them! Will they do it in the woof of time?
Clues and Puzzles
As we read In the Woof of Time, we’ll engage in a little code-making and code-breaking of our own. Detective stories and cryptograms go together!
Alibis and Red Herrings
A lot of words and phrases are associated with detective stories alone. As we read In the Woof of Time, we’ll do a vocabulary quiz, testing how many of these words are familiar to us.
Creating a Detective
Sherlock Holmes, Hercule Poirot, Miss Marple, the Five Find-Outers and Dog … So often, iconic detectives propel mystery stories. Together, we will attempt to create a group of detectives. What would this group call itself? What are the characters’ strengths and weaknesses? Is there one character who is smarter or more courageous than the rest?
