Summary: This book is the story of a war between four different nations. The Earth Kingdom, Air Nation, Water Tribes, and The Fire Nation. These nations have lived in harmony until the Fire Nation was determined to have dominance over the world. They took on a quest to overcome the other nations. The Air Nation was demolished and its survivors were just left on the planet to wander. The Earth Kingdon and the Water Tribes were going to be ruined. The Avatar has all of the elements of each tribe. He is the only one that can save the other tribes from being destroyed. It tells us in the story that the Avatar was missing for more than a century until two people come across Aang, who was frozen into a block of ice. Aang is the Avatar, who can be the saving grace for the tribes. He must be protected because he has the significant powers that save the planet. When the Fire Nation finds out that he is on a mission to save the others, they are on a mission of their own to stop him.
This book can teach students about diversity. There were four groups in this book that were all different. They worked together to try and stop the Fire Kingdom. Students can learn to work together on activities with other students. Collaboration can be a key topic to focus on because working together was significant in this book, especially for the tribes.
