Teaching Resources for Geomancer by Kiran Millwood Hargrave

These resources have been designed to support teachers in bringing the rich, imaginative world of Kiran Millwood Hargrave’s Geomancer series into the classroom. Rooted in themes of nature, courage, and the deep connections between people and the world around them, In the Shadow of the Wolf Queen offers pupils a powerful springboard for creative exploration.

The activities within this pack encourage children to practise key literacy skills while engaging with story elements that spark wonder and curiosity. From building new worlds inspired by landscapes and wildlife, to writing poetry that captures the voices of trees, to exploring character through the objects they carry, each task is intended to nurture both imagination and craft.

Suitable for use in literacy lessons, library sessions, or as enrichment activities, these resources will help pupils to think critically about language, immerse themselves in storytelling, and develop an appreciation for the natural world that underpins Kiran Millwood Hargrave’s writing.

Above all, the aim is to inspire young readers to listen more closely, look more carefully, and write more creatively as they journey alongside Ysolda and her companions in this unforgettable tale.
