Chapter 2
What have you learned about Lola’s personality from the way she thinks, speaks, or acts around Jelly and Bean so far?
Example answer: So far, I think Lola is energetic and caring. I can tell because she pays close attention to Jelly and Bean and thinks about what they need. She also seems like someone with big feelings, so she may get excited or worried quickly. That makes her feel like a real kid, because she is trying to do the right thing even when things are new.

Chapter 6
What is this chapter showing about responsibility or caring for others, especially when Jelly and Bean are involved?
Example answer: This chapter shows that responsibility means more than just liking someone or something. Lola has to think about how her choices affect Jelly and Bean and the people around her. I think the author is showing that caring takes patience and attention. It is not always easy, but it helps a person grow.

Based on what has happened so far, what challenge do you think Lola might face next? Explain what clues in the chapter make you predict that.
Example answer: I predict that Lola might have to solve a problem that tests how responsible she can be. My clue is that the story keeps focusing on how much Lola cares and how her choices matter. When a character wants something badly, there is usually a challenge that helps her learn. I think Lola will need help from her family, friends, or her own writing to figure it out.
