Cress
By: Marissa Meyer
Grades 6-8
In this third book in the bestselling Lunar Chronicles series, Cinder and Captain Thorne are fugitives on the run, with Scarlet and Wolf in tow. Together, they’re plotting to overthrow Queen Levana and prevent her army from invading Earth.
Their best hope lies with Cress, who has been trapped on a satellite since childhood with only her netscreens as company. All that screen time has made Cress an excellent hacker – unfortunately, she’s being forced to work for Queen Levana, and she’s just received orders to track down Cinder and her handsome accomplice.
When a daring rescue goes awry, the group is splintered. Cress finally has her freedom, but it comes at a higher price than she’d ever expected. Meanwhile, Queen Levana will let nothing prevent her marriage to Emperor Kai, especially the cyborg mechanic. Cress, Scarlet, and Cinder may not have signed up to save the world, but they may be the only hope the world has.

Cress is a Lunar shell confined to a satellite to aid Queen Levana with hacking and surveillance of Earthen countries. She is petite with a heart-shaped face and freckles. She has an overactive imagination and is sometimes nervous around people due to her isolation growing up. Cress is trapped on a satellite that orbits around Earth approximately every 16 hours.

Activity Three
Coloring utilizes both hemispheres of the brain, right and left. When we are thinking about balance, color choices, applying colored pencil to paper, we are working on problem solving and fine motor skills. Imagine all the areas of retraining of the brain and skills training that can be accomplished with coloring increasingly difficult designs. An individual can start on easier items, and work their way up. With these ideas in mind, use all of your brain and color the picture of Cress. Is this what you thought she'd look like? |
