Hi, Kelly,

Thanks for posting. I’m honored that you’ve decided on THE UNTEACHABLES to start your book club. I hope it will be a resounding success!

Re: discussion questions. Those are more in the teacher’s field than the author’s. But I don’t think it would be hard to come up with questions about that book. “Is there such a thing as being unteachable?” “What turned the class into Mr. Kermit’s  staunch supporters?” “Discuss what Parker’s reading problem really is.” “Do you think the class will do well when they graduate to high school?” and “What turned Mr. Kermit’s attitude around?”

You might also ask the publisher, Harper Collins, Balcer&Bray imprint, if they have any suggestions.

I wish you a lot of success and a lot of fun!                             —–Gordon Korman—–
