Snow - Novel Study English Resources

Created by Voiceless, the animal protection institute, this Animal Protection Education (APE) has been developed for a  Stage 4, Year 7 English class and uses  Ondine  Sherman’s coming of  age novel;  Snow,  as  the primary resource, as well as drawing on a range of supporting fiction and non-fiction texts. This is the second novel in the Animal Allies Series.
