Excellent resource for a book club seeking to discuss the book and differences if they have viewed the documentary. Thought provoking for discussion. It was nice that the recipes were included,this way the club could prepare some of the items for their meetings. Note that thehe ingredients are not in US measurements and I'm not sure where you will find some if them. Many thanks to the author, publisher and NetGalley for the advanced reader copy. The opinions expressed are my own. Please consider using fotos for any of your discussions of this book.

This book club kit is well-organized, with insightful discussion questions, author interviews, and thoughtful suggestions for related books. The additional materials, like background information on the book and its themes, provided context that enriched our understanding.

Inspiring and heartfelt! It was wonderful to include the "Make a Difference" section. The interview was incredibly insightful, and the Discussion Questions have great potential to spark some really productive conversations.

I am so happy to see a non fiction work getting a Book Club Kit. We need more guides to reads like this that highlight the best of out world and the people that live in it and can be a force for positive inspiration. As always these guides are an excellent jump off point for groups or libraries looking for direction for a single book club or even for A month long book celebration. With the addition of A viewing party for The Cave the documentary and fictional books that share the same theme, I can see this being a great addition to any reading groups calendar!

Gosh, this book incorporates some seriously heavy topics and for that reason I’m exceedingly grateful about the content warnings included at the beginning. This is definitely an important read but one that people should not take lightly when deciding to delve into its content. This kit, naturally, begins with the author interview and then moves into some thought provoking discussion questions for a book club meeting—what I love about the questions is that they are also excellent for writing prompts as well. There are bookmarks included and some drink and food recipes. One unique thing about this kit is the inclusion of discussion questions to pair with watching the documentary film of the same name. I also really loved the “Make a Difference” section. The kit ends with further reading book recommendations.

I run a book club with friends and we are planning to read The Cave in the upcoming months. I'm excited to use this to facilitate discussions. I also love that it contains relevant drink and food recipes! How cool is that? There are also great resources at the end that I plan to look into. Thank you for this wonderful resource.

I loved the book The Cave and was excited to check out this book club kit. I hope that the kit will help bring attention to this excellent book and encourage more book clubs to read it! I thought the kit was interesting and had great content. I did not use it as part of a book club, nor have I used similar kits before, but could see it being useful. Thanks to netgalley and the publisher for giving me the chance to check this one out!

A great book club guide for The Cave by Amani Ballour. I can see our adult book clubs enjoying the discussion questions and the information to follow up discussion provided in the kit.

Very interesting book club kit! The book deals with a heavy topic, so I like that the kit also includes ways to help. Always love seeing the recipes, in this case Syrian.

I absolutely loved the Book Club Kit! It's the perfect resource for anyone looking to enhance their reading experience and spark deeper discussions. The kit is well-organized, with insightful discussion questions, author interviews, and thoughtful suggestions for related books. It really helped guide our group's conversation and made the reading experience feel even more engaging. The additional materials, like background information on the book and its themes, provided context that enriched our understanding. Whether you're in a formal book club or just looking to dive deeper into a novel, this kit is a must-have. Highly recommend!

The book itself is a very difficult book to read as the content is extremely disturbing and heartbreaking. I think, however, it should be required reading for those of us living in areas that have never experienced something like this. I think it will help all of us to feel much more empathy and understanding towards refugees and will hopefully compel us to take action to help.
I did enjoy the book club kit for this book and especially liked the interview with the author. I am going to make sure I watch the documentary soon. I have made a donation to one of the organizations mentioned.
I will never look at Syria or her people the same way.

A brilliant book club kit for Rania Abouzeid and Amani Ballour's book The Cave. Author Interview, discussion questions and beautiful bookmarks.
