Myra here.

Welcome GatheringReaders. This is a much delayed Virtual Blog Post for my book club for young readers. This month we are reading Raina Telgemeier’s graphic novel Drama.

What I especially loved about the book is how each one was accepted without judgments and without reservations. No one was ‘bullied’ for who they are. And while there were struggles, there was also joy in self-discovery.

 I only have a few questions here for you. Please feel free to just jump in and share your thoughts if you have read, or are currently reading the book, regardless of whether you’re in GatheringReaders or not. Do write your responses in the Comments Section.

  1. Which part of the book are you in now? 

  2. Who was the most interesting and colorful character for you?

  3. Talk about Callie’s love for theater. Do you share the same passion?

  4. Have you read any of Raina Telgemeier’s other books? If yes, share with us the titles and how you found them.

That’s it! Easy-peasy right! Looking forward to reading your responses.

If you’ve read the book and would like to be part of our discussion, please feel free to write your thoughts in the Comments section below.
