The Rumor Game is a great YA book. I was hoping the book club kit would be a great addition to using The Rumor Game with my teen book club, but I really wish the kit had more discussion questions included.

Very helpful, everyone loved it! It contained lots of wonderful resources, and was a big hit amongst the group.

The guide is very well done, and full of things I did not expect to see -- for example, the advice to adults and teens about open communication, and the author chat. As a high school librarian, I'd look to this guide for a book discussion group, so those two features may not be something I'd use, strictly speaking, but they do add a lot of helpful background knowledge which enriches the reader's experience, I think. So, I like having them included, and I see the value, but I don't think I'd have a chance to share them with a group, unless there was an unusual amount of interest. The discussion questions are outstanding. The read alike suggestions are helpful too -- I am glad they were included, although I tend to avoid read alike lists from publishers because they are made up of books that are only from that publisher. But it is still good to get some ideas. Every book should have a guide like this, great job.

Great for book club and is pretty useful in starting a book club especially for deeper discussions regarding books!

This, combined with the publisher provided teaching guide, will really allow for this book to make an impact.

I'm going to be using this kit with my teen book club- It looks super helpful. Not sure how else I can review the pdf teachers guide

I downloaded this kit to garner some ideas for my own book club. I thought it was great! It's extremely thorough. I absolutely loved the design; it's quite clever how they made the author's interview look like text messages to tie in with the book. I also really loved how it recommended similar books to read next. The section about open communication and mental health resources is a great resource for parents and teens alike. Very impressed overall with this kit!

This kit is awesome! It has been so helpful for our book club. We love to read and we love to talk, but sometimes it’s hard for someone to talk about what they read. The questions give great starting points that usually lead to more discussion. It’s also nice to get special information about the book from the author. It makes everything feel a little bit more special. I will say, hands down, my favorite part is the food and drink recipes. Such a great addition that everyone loves! This is great for existing book clubs, but also a great starting point to start something new! I voluntarily reviewed this after receiving a free copy.

I was asked by Disney Publishing, and We Are Bookish to review a Book Club kit. The book kit does not have the edition of the book, but to review the club kit on its own merit. I've never been involved in a book club, but after reading and studying the activity, I may be open to participating in a group discussion. The suggested book was a Disney publishing and titled The Rumor Game by Dhonielle Clayton and Sona Charipotra., the book was targeted to the Young Adult readers., no doubt the recommendation would work with any book and any age group.

When things get out of hand, and your secrets or personal life is displayed it doesn't feel safe, less safe if you are a teenager and still learning the purpose of life.

This book club kit for the Rumor Game contains a content warning, a fun texting-based author interview, a discussion guide, and some cool bookmarks. I enjoyed the suggested next reads, and adult and teen guide to open communication. A very thorough and well put-together kit!

I loved loved The Rumor Game so much and was excited to write and share my review. I was excited to use some of the content in this kit for my reviews and also use it for discussion topics with my book club friends. I wish kits such as this was available for all books! Very helpful and useful.

I absolutely loved the Kit and how well it played to the theme of the book. The guide for book discussions is a must, it helps to keep everything organized. It was very well put together, from recommendations to references for parents and talking to their teens, to the bookmarks. Definitely recommend kits for book clubs.
