Hattie thinks that she and Adam could be brother and sister. What do the two have in common? How are they different? Why do you think that Hattie and Adam become good friends?
If Adam’s school had not closed, do you think Hattie’s parents would have ever told her about Adam? Why or why not? Why do you think her parents and Nana and Papa kept Adam a secret? Were they right to do that? Explain.
Throughout the novel, Hattie thinks that Adam embarrasses Nana, who wants to “erase” him and keep him hidden. Do you agree with Hattie’s perspective of Nana? Why or why not? Give evidence to support your answer.
