Chapter Twenty-eight

No question, but please go back and reread the very first chapter of the book before Monday.  I hope you enjoyed this story as much as I did.

Chapter Twenty-seven

Do you think Brady was a guilty as J.T. and Digger?  Do you think J.T. was as guilty as Digger?  What did you think of the severity of their punishment?  Too lenient?  Too harsh?  Fair?

Chapter Twenty-six

Besides what he already began to say, what do you expect to hear from Digger when he testifies?

Chapter Twenty-six

Even though he's been friends with both of them for a long time, Brady now seems more sympathetic toward J.T. than Digger.  Do you agree?  If so, why do you think that is?

Chapter Twenty-five

Near the end of this chapter, Brady second guesses about what he should have done with the money he earned from Mrs. DiAngelo.  What do you think about his choice?

Chapter Twenty-five

In this chapter (page 183) Brady wonders why J.T. nodded at him in the courtroom.  "Was he glad I'd spoken up?  Relieved?"  What do you think the nod meant?

Chapter Twenty-two

The conversation between Brady and his father seems to signal a turning point in this story and in Brady's thinking.  What do you think were the most important things his father said to him?  What do you think Brady's next moves are?

Chapter Twenty-one

As Brady and his mom grow closer through their first-ever conversation about Amanda's death, his internal conflict seems to be eating away at him more fiercely than ever since Ben's death.  How can he come to terms with this?

I forgot to remind you...

Tomorrow is a swimming day.  Please be prepared and please spread the word.
