Two book options

Easier:  Press Start: Game Over, Super Rabbit Boy (book 1)

Harder: Brown Girl Dreaming

Think of two questions about the book to ask the other kids in your group!

Questions we often ask:

1. If you could give the book another title, what would it be? 

2. Which characters would you like to meet in real life? 

3. What do you wish was different about the ending?

4. Would the book make a cool movie? Video game? TV show? 

5. What is one thing you would ask the author if you could talk to him or her?

6. What do you think the author wants readers to remember most from this book? 

7. Was there one big lesson you took away from this book?
