The Lost Heir questions by chapter
We know the book, its characters, setting and story, but not what happens in each chapter. So every question is written for this book, and any of them works wherever your reader has just stopped.

-
Chapter 7
What does your reading suggest about what makes a place feel like home to Tsunami? Use a detail from the story.
Example answer: I think home means more than being around dragons who look like you. Tsunami wants to find her SeaWing family, so sharing a family history matters to her. Still, she already has strong ties to Clay, Glory, Starflight, and Sunny. That makes me think she needs people she can trust, not just a place where she belongs by birth.
-

How are Tsunami and Clay alike or different in the parts you have read? Explain how one of those similarities or differences affects their friendship.

Clay often seems gentler and more interested in keeping everyone together. I think their different strengths can help the group, even when they do not agree.

Chapter 21
If you could ask Tsunami one question about something she has done so far, what would you ask? Explain why you want to know.
Example answer: I would ask Tsunami why finding her SeaWing family matters so much to her. I know she wants to learn where she comes from, but I wonder what she hopes her family will be like.
