If you've never read the books with the animals in mind as the main characters (sorry, Newt), then you'll definitely want to join us as we discuss! Discover new perspectives surrounding the representation and treatment of different species and the lives of your favorite furry, scaley, and feathered characters.


​At the end of the month, The Novel Foundation team will host a live meeting where we’ll discuss all of the magical creatures we've encountered! You can REGISTER to join in on the meeting and share your opinions and thoughts with us. And don't worry—even if you don't finish the book before the end of the month, you can still join us in the live event, or watch the discussion here afterward!


We hope you'll join The Novel Foundation Book Club—an educational experience where we revisit our favorite world and learn new things along the way, such as how to help all creatures!
