What do you think about the book so far?
1. Do you like it or not?
2. Why is that?

Cameron finds several drawings of the McTavish-family: Jacky, his mother and his father:

“The top drawings are mostly of Jacky and his mother and father at the farm. His father is huge – even bigger than the barn. He has enormous black eyes, without any whites, and a mouth of yellow teeth. Plus he’s almost always got a pitchfork, a hammer or a saw. Jacky and his mother are way smaller and mostly off to the side, holding hands. Her eyes are empty circles; sometimes she doesn’t have a mouth.” (chapter 9)

What are the relationships in this family like, do you think? Describe the relationships between Jacky, his father and his mother.

On the move

In the book Cameron has to move house a lot.

Watch the video.

The video is about people who move a lot.
What does it do to people when you move around a lot?

What would you miss most if you were to move to the other side of the country?

The video ends with the words: "You know your travels have made you who you are."
What does that mean? (own opinion)

What is your home life like? What things happened in your life that really changed you?
Think about your family, your house, your school.

Bullying

In the book, Cameron is bullied by Cody and his gang. In real life, bullying also plays a big part in the lives of many teenagers. Watch the video and answer the questions.

The boy asks the viewer three questions:
1. ‘Have you ever cyberbullied anyone?’
2. ‘Have you ever been cyberbullied?’
3. ‘Have you ever witnessed cyberbullying?’
What answer does the boy in the video give? Use your own words.

The boy also has a solution to do something about cyberbullying. He mentions three steps: stop, block and tell. What does he mean by that?

What does it do to a person who experiences cyberbullying, do you think?

What can we do about cyberbullying?
