Reading The Traitor King Aloud

Darren, the main character in The Traitor King is dreaming of drifting away during class "as if his body was a shell he could climb out of."

As the author continues, "The other day, he'd dreamed of a shadowy skeleton who'd grabbed him and drained the life out of him until he disappeared. It had seemed so terrifyingly real. "Darren's been erased," his mom had said in his dream (p.2)."

1- What has the author done to hook us, the readers, so quickly? Be specific!

2- What were you thinking and wondering about as we read these first few pages of our read aloud?

3-How are other people describing Todd Mitchell's new book? Read and then rap (blog style) about one person's opinion.
