Separated on the Paris Metro
Book #2 of the Poppy-Dahlia adventure series
As she pounded on the door of the Metro to let her in, the train lurched forward and started to move.
Running over to look through the window where her younger sister Zoe and cousin Thibault sat alone, she yelled, “go to Thibault’s house.” Watching helplessly, the train disappeared into the tunnel.
Anna Dahlia, a middle school girl on a Paris family vacation, wanted to prove her independence and show how responsible she could be. She never thought it would be this tough.
While traveling on the Paris Metro with her younger sister and cousin, her purse is stolen while boarding a connecting train. She is left without directions, phone, or wallet. No one is around to help.
Will she avoid a panic attack? Where will she find help? Can she make her way? Will her sister and cousin manage on their own?
This wasn’t the vacation she expected.
One story, written as two books, told from each sister’s perspective.
In the first book, read the story from Anna Dahlia’s viewpoint. Continue with the second book to increase comprehension, add extra details, and story variations with the story seen from her sister Zoe’s point of view.
Reading a book twice can dramatically increase reader comprehension. However, encouraging readers to read a story twice can be tough.
Providing the same story from another character’s point of view, bringing a change in perspective, and some alternate storylines will excite readers to take a deeper dive into what they have just read.
