Bring on the tough stuff - there’s not just one right answer.
- Being on a tiny prison island is an once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. What would you do similarly and differently to Moose if you found yourself in the same position?
- Even though Natalie isn't the main character, how does she carry the story along? In what ways does the plot center around her?
- What do you think Moose learns by the end of the book? Does he make progress and learn things about himself that he didn't know before?
- Moose makes a lot of sacrifices for his family. How does this make him the hero of this book?
- Does the location make the story more unique? Do you think the adventures could have happened in a city, or does the fact that they take place on a tiny island make a difference? Why?
