Discussion Guidelines

  • Please blur/hide any major events in the current week’s pages (however early they occur), like so:

  • (that’s [spoiler]text here[/spoiler]).

  • If you have a question about grammar, vocab, the story, cultural things or literally anything else related to the book — ask! There is really no need to be hesitant. If it’s something you are wondering about, chances are someone else will be thankful you asked first, lots of people enjoy answering questions, you learn something new, and the thread gets more lively. It’s a win-win on all fronts!

  • Don’t forget to put on your club-supplied cat ears for a more immersive experience while reading. You will find them under your seat.

I love all the onomatopoeia in this section! Picking up some useful vocab.

ワクワクしますね。

I’ve just made it to the half way point of the chapter :sweat_smile:

EDIT: Is it just the two of us reading this now?

Onomatopoeia is so fun! Out of those, I especially like キョロキョロ

Seems like it :sweat_smile: I would be willing to increase the pace to one chapter a week and finish the book faster, but if you want to stay at the same pace that’s fine too. I’m planning on finishing the book either way.

Sorry but I think the current pace is as fast as I can currently go :hot_face:

No worries! We’ll keep the schedule as is then. :slightly_smiling_face:

You know what - I finished the chapter tonight. So I’m ahead of schedule :slight_smile:

I’m also getting pretty excited about the books in the next Children’s Book Club on WK.

So, do you want to try for a chapter per week and wrap it up quicker?

Woah, awesome job! :clap:

I’m also excited! And yes, let’s do that! I’ll edit the schedule and we can do all of chapter 4 next week.

The only longer chapter is chapter 6, which is 34 pages. So if you want we can leave that as 2 weeks, but that’s up to you!

The schedule you’ve mapped out looks perfect, and dovetails nicely into the start of the WK club you’ve setup :+1:

Hooray!


Ok, I finished this chapter. I honestly got a bit confused towards the end, because I was expecting her to feed the cream to all the other students, thereby healing them from the poison plant. But I guess she only ate it herself, and then just… went and called the hospital? :joy: Oh, ok then.

That’s how I read it too…and if my understanding was correct, the cream was not poisonous to a human, but it would kill the microbes inside them, that would then cause them to die (if not treated at hospital)?! That feels like such a technicality! :joy:

I know, right :joy: Seems like all these stories end on some tiny technicality.

I finished too. At least I was able to figure out the twist ending before the explanation at the end.

Girl needs an epipen and not a magic cream. :joy:
