A modern alternative to SparkNotes and CliffsNotes, SuperSummary offers high-quality Study Guides with detailed chapter summaries and analysis of major themes, characters, and more. For select classroom titles, we also provide Teaching Guides with discussion and quiz questions to prompt student engagement.

Discussion/Analysis Prompt

Describe the importance of games in the novel. What experiences does Avery have with games prior to her arrival at Hawthorne House? How does Avery’s mother make use of these games? Why do the Hawthornes play games prior to Tobias’s death? What social games are played in the novel by the Hawthornes, Emily, Thea, Skye, and Drake? What is the emotional impact of these social games on the family?

Teaching Suggestion: Consider allowing small groups to brainstorm mentions of games in the novel before students attempt an independent response. Students can use their texts, reading questions, and reading journals in answering the prompt.
