Online Book Club #4 - Island Sting

Island Sting by Bonnie Doerr (in about 100 words)

Kenzie is a city girl in a whole new world when her mom moves her to a nature preserve in the Florida Keys and she immediately gets into trouble by falling into a canal to save what she thinks is a dog. She quickly realizes it's a tiny deer instead and then she meets a boy who helps her (and the deer) out of the canal. Soon, Kenzie learns that there is a poacher killing key deer even though they’re an endangered species. What is she going to do and that’s just in the first two chapters of this action packed mystery novel for middle schoolers.

Go read it and then answer our weekly questions! Don’t forget the author of this book will be visiting Teen Central on October 5th at 4 pm. We hope to see everyone there!

Question 1:
Both Kenzie and Angelo kept their hunt for the poacher a secret from their family. Do you agree with that decision? Would you have done the same? Why or why not?

Question 2:
Throughout the book, Kenzie does not have a cell phone. Why doesn’t she? If you had to go without a cell phone, how would your days change?

Question 3:
Kenzie and Angelo work to decrease litter pollution on their island. Why is decreasing litter important? What could you do to decrease litter?
