Here we’ll be sharing our thoughts on chapters 1 and 2. I’ve provided some discussion questions below to give you a place to start but please feel free to do your own thing.
If you include specifics about the plot, please remember to use spoiler tags to avoid spoiling it for someone who might have clicked on this post by mistake. You can do this by typing

The story starts ‘in medias res’ (right in the middle of the action). Do you like it when stories do this or do you prefer when an author eases you in more gradually?
If you were an inhabitant of the Graveyard, do you think you would have argued for or against Bod staying?
Do you have a favourite amongst the characters we’ve met so far?
Chapter 2:
Scarlett’s parents assume that Bod is a figment of her imagination. Did you have an imaginary friend (or several) growing up?
Do you think the sleer was a genuine threat or was it more like the blue man?
Do you find the Graveyard a weird or unsettling setting? Or did you adjust quite quickly?
