As you know, our next meeting is in a week and a half, so I thought I'd go ahead and post some questions to get you thinking about the book.
(Here's the obvious question.) Did you like the book? Why or why not?
Who was you're favorite character? What did you like about them? What about your least favorite character?
How do you think you would feel if you family decided to sacrifice you to a dragon or something equally unbelievable?
Shardas steals blankets and food from others but only steals from prosperous farmers. Is it okay to steal from the rich, or is stealing always wrong? Explain your answer.
At first, Creel is afraid of dragons. Until she gets to know Shardas, she worries he will eat her. Have you ever had the wrong first impression about someone? Has someone ever had the wrong impression about you? Explain.
Creel refuses payment from the princess for her slippers. Do you have a possession that you would refuse to sell for any price? What is it, and why is it so special to you.
Creel dreams of opening her own shop. What kind of shop would you open if you could? Why?
Dragons are collectors -- Shardas collects glass, and Feniul collects dogs. What would you collect and why? Would your collection valuable monetarily or does it have sentimental value? Or both? Explain.
Dragon Slippers is the first book in a trilogy, and the book ends with the hint of a new adventure. What do you think comes next in the story? What do you want to become of Creel? Luka? The book's other characters?
These are just a few questions for you to mull over. I'm looking forward to hearing your answers at our next meeting.
Until then,
Miss Gloria
