The Heroine's Journey: For Writers, Readers, and Fans of Pop Culture by Gail Carriger
5.0
As an English teacher, I have to teach the Hero's Journey because it's in the 8th grade curriculum...but what I find truly interesting is the two examples I use to introduced this are Harry Potter and Big Hero 6 (And Big Hero 6 is recommended by the publisher). After reading this book, I feel like I secretly teach the Heroine's journey under the Hero's Journey label, which is quite funny and problematic at the same time.
I enjoyed reading this book even though it is nonfiction. Gail's voice when writing is the number one reason for that. She made me smile. She made me laugh out loud. Her voice helps to keep the book entertain and fast-paced while communicating important information.
I'm already thinking about ways to use this in my teaching and my work.
