Some characters have special gifts that help them. 

Examples:

• Leif from the Deltora Quest series is brave and a good friend;
• Will from the Ranger’s Apprentice is quick-witted and courageous;
• Hermione of the Harry Potter series is very clever and a great researcher.

If you had the power to give two special gifts, what would you give?  Which book character would you give them to?

If you could choose to become any character from a book, who would it be?  Why?

Have you ever read anything that you didn’t like?  Why didn’t you like it?

Some authors choose to use incidents or conflict to begin the story. 

Examples:

• ‘How to eat Fried Worms’ by Thomas Rockwell begins with Billy, Alan, Joe and Tom arguing over what they would or would not eat.
• ‘The Search for Delicious’ has everyone in the court arguing about what foods they think are delicious.
• Almost every book in the ‘Harry Potter’ series by J.K. Rowling starts with a disagreeable incident at the Dursleys.
