Ari Ara Book Club For All Ages is a free, monthly book discussion throughout 2025 on the novels in Rivera Sun’s Ari Ara series. Join this virtual book club for kids and adults to discuss the award-winning, peace-waging fantasy of Rivera Sun’s Ari Ara series. We’ll also use art, creativity, games, and group exercises to explore the real-life skills that Ari Ara uses in the adventures. We can be heroes, too! This discussion will be about The Adventures of Alaren.

Author Rivera Sun will facilitate this all-ages group. Bring your kids, friends, educators, grandparents, book-lovers and peace activists. Children under 9 years old should come with an adult. Adults of all ages are encouraged to come … and if you can bring young people with you, that’s even better!

About the Ari Ara Series: This unique and much-loved series combines fantasy adventures with nonviolent heroines and peace-waging plot twists. The Ari Ara series contains all the classic elements of epic myths – courage, daring, adventure – with the skills of conflict resolution, anti-bullying, peace and nonviolence. It’s been winning fans among children, teens, parents, educators, librarians, peace activists, and beyond.
