1. How did you experience the book? Were you drawn into the book or did it take a while?

2. What character did you find most interesting? Why? Did you relate to this character and their experiences in the story?

3. Did the book have a theme, moral, or driving idea? If so, what is it? Were there recurring symbols, words, or objects you noticed?

4. “Akata” is a derogatory word, meaning bush animal, and is used to refer to American or foreign born blacks. Both Sunny and Sasha are referred to as “akatas”. Why is this word hurtful? Can you imagine how you would feel if you were Sunny or Sasha and someone called you that name?

5. What is the significance of the chittim (money) the Leopard people earn? How do they earn it? Compare and contrast earning money in real life to earning chittim in the novel.
