1) Is this a Young Adult book?
2) Did we ever find out how Mrs. G and Luis Velez first met?
3) Why did Hyde have to make Raymond asexual?
4) How does anyone live in 2019/2020 and not have a debit or credit card?
5) What did you think about the trial? Why not just cut to the chase and say that the woman who shot Luis Velez got off?
6) Mrs G is blind but when she calls out a question, Raymond stops to check on what that's all about. How many people would stop and check?
7) Life can be hard and challenging, people experience prejudice, hate, loneliness, helplessness, injustice and racial non-acceptance. What is the answer?
8) What did you think of Raymond’s Social Studies and English teacher’s grades for his write up of the trial?
9) Raymond's father is a well-to-do dentist. He's surely paying child support. So why is the mother and stepfather so nasty about money when that's coming in?
10) If Raymond had told others about Millie, more help could have been provided. She had signed up for one agency (when she met Luis), so why not Meals on Wheels, Agency on Aging and blind agencies?
11) At the end Raymond did the shopping, did you think, why doesn't he just go by himself and then just take walks with Millie?
12) Can we talk about evil stepmother?
13) One of the themes of the story is that of prejudice and preconceptions based on race. It is an ugly reality that this story covers extremely well. Does it make you think "Am I guilty of this thinking?
14) Why is kindness to strangers such a rarity?
