• This novel is appropriate for middle school and junior high boys and girls. It is recommended for grades four and up and children ten years and older. Most middle school students will identify with at least one, if not several of the characters in the story; and its realistic themes will inspire thought and discussion. The book endorses positive themes as it explores friendship, acceptance, family, perseverance, self-confidence, adversity and prejudice, and the importance of community.

• This book is an especially useful vehicle for addressing a wide range of TEKS and Common Core standards and the questions provided allow differentiation and adaptation of how the book is used to address these standards in discussion, presentation, and composition.

• The questions are in chronological order and are labeled by date as the story progresses over days in the month of April. Answer keys are provided.

• Resource activities provide opportunities to apply important comprehension skills, and a glossary highlights significant vocabulary from the novel.

• General questions exploring themes, structure, mood, literary elements, visual literacy, and the author's craft are included without reference to specific chapters.

• This book is a great vehicle for teaching and improving visual literacy among students and exploring graphic novel formats. This format can engage readers who are reluctant and struggle with traditional novel formats while fostering the same critical reading skills promoted in quality books with traditional formats.

• Answer keys are included with this resource. Many of the questions are open to interpretation. They are purposefully designed for discussion and reflection. The questions prompt students to think critically about the story, share observations, express their understanding, and make connections and applications while exploring literary elements.

  • Students
  • Classroom teachers
  • Reading teachers and reading specialists
