I was really glad to find this resource! I teach gifted students, so it was important to me that this followed the Depth and Complexity components. It helped the students think and dig deeper into the novel. I hope there are resources like this in your store for other novels we use. Thank you!

We have been using these questions on the first 6 chapters so far and they have lead to some great and thought provoking questions.
