Veteran's Day Vocab

A Concept Board exercise for Week 9 vocab!

The Unfortunate Son - Trailer

Lucky?

What does it mean? Luc wouldn’t know: he’s anything but. Born with only one ear, smaller and weaker than his younger brother, he has a mean- spirited father who can’t stand the sight of him.
Luc’s luck seems to improve when he is apprenticed to Pons, a kind and gentle fisherman. And he meets the beautiful Beatrice. But a sudden act of villainy lands Luc in North Africa, where he finds himself the property of a wealthy and powerful Arab. With no money for ransom and no hope of escape, Luc fears he will never see his native France again. This may seem like the end for Luc, but really, it’s just the beginning.
This page-turning adventure will take readers from sixteenth century France to Tunisia and back again. Along the way, Luc will learn that nothing in his own past, or Beatrice’s, is what it seemed. Is he a commoner, a slave, or a nobleman?

Don't Forget to Purchase this book soon if you haven't already!
