Description:

Jodi Picoult is the fourth most banned author in America and her 30th novel is going to be released shortly. Jodi Picoult has said β€œthe loss of free speech is a very, very slippery slope” and that having two of her books banned in school districts in some US states is β€œnot a badge of honour". BBC Article

On a postcard, note card or letter, write the title of the book, a summary and include at least three of the writing prompts below:

Prompt 1: How long did it take you to get invested in the book?
Prompt 2: If you could ask the author one question, what would it be?
Prompt 3: Did any part of this book strike a particular emotion in you? Which part and what emotion did it make you feel?
Prompt 4: How much did you know about this book before reading it? What surprised you the most?
Prompt 5: How thought-provoking did you find this book? Did it change your opinion about anything, or did you learn anything?
Prompt 6: The Title's Weight: Look closely at the title of the novel. How does its meaning transform or deepen once you finish reading?
Prompt 7: The Author's Note: If you read the Author's Note at the back, how did learning about Picoult's real-life inspiration and research alter your appreciation of the fiction?
Prompt 8: The Structural Twist: Did the book feature a signature Picoult plot twist or unexpected reveal? Did you see it coming, or did it completely reframe everything?
Prompt 9: Right vs. Right: Most of her books feature competing versions of doing the right thing rather than a clear "good guy." Which character’s choices did you struggle to empathize with the most? Did your opinion of them change by the final chapter?
