Student Question: Compare and contrast two characters in your book. The two protagonists in my book are Carter and Sadie Kane. Some things that they have in common are: both of their last names are "Kane", both are teenagers, both currently live in the US, both have the same parents, both are magicians (which, in the book's universe, are individuals who can channel the power of the Ancient Egyptian gods to summon magic), and both are very attracted to the opposite gender (emphasis on 'very'). Some things that make them different are: Carter is a male, while Sadie is a female (I think), Carter has dark skin and dark hair while Sadie has light skin and light-colored hair, Carter is the stereotypical "walking computer" while Sadie is the stereotypical "bratty white girl", Carter traveled with his father around the world during most of his childhood, while Sadie lived exclusively in England during most of her childhood, and Carter has been a loner all his life while Sadie has had relationships with other people for nearly her entire life.

Student Question: Explain the main character's problem and then offer your character advice on how to solve his/her problem. The "main character" of my book is Carter Kane. His main problem in this book is his struggle to be an inspiring leader and inspiration to his colleagues because he hasn't interacted with very many people throughout his life besides his father (who is now dead) and his lack of general verbal skills and constant stuttering makes it difficult to sound confident. Advice that I would give may be to just give the job of leadership to someone else because they would be much better at the job than he is.
Student Question: How does this book explain previous events told in the books earlier in the series? This book does not blatantly explain every detail that happened in the past stories in the form of a prologue, and this book does not keep you in the dark about its past in order to make you read them to understand it either. Rather, this book tells you about these events but does not explain them in a way that makes it very clear of what actually happened. The way this happens is when the narrator tells the reader these things, they say that it is not important or just "a long story".
Student Question: How does this chapter remind you of something else? (ex. something you have read before, somewhere you have visited, someone you know) The first chapter of this book reminds heavily reminds me of the previous book in the series' first chapter. One reason for this is the setting, which is nighttime at a party in an Egyptian museum. Another thing that reminds me of this is the events, which are both about how the protagonists do something extremely stupid and this results in a lot of "supposed" innocent deaths.
