Book Detectives are at is again! With the help of our ForenFic Analysis Brenda chose this read! It's a fun YA novel and a nice little break from some more intense reads.
Questions:
Chapters 1 through 6
1. When we meet Raphael he is rushing into a convention with his best friend. He is so anxious and needs to do a billions more things, was there ever a time you experienced somethings similar to our protagonists day? Do you think winning his mothers approval and sponsorship is worth all this chaos?
2. Have you ever been to a convention? Did you dress up? Imagine reading this book as someone whos a boomer for example, this would be very out there for them.

4. Have you ever had an ex or anyone steal an idea from you?
5. Raffy has a fun crafting stream! Would you watch his show? If you had a stream what would you do on it? And if you do have a stream is there any other ways you want to branch out?
6. The cosplay competition at this convention is pretty intense, 4 costumes in 2 days is a lot of work. Since its suppose to be a team competition how do you feel about Raff doing most of the work?

Chapters 7 through 13
1. Do you think the way Raffy breaks down most of his cosplays to reuse the parts is odd? What do you normally do with projects you get done with?

Chapter 14 thru 19
1. What did you think of Raffy and the others tricking Luca into coming to Controverse? Was it sweet? Or possibly overstepping?
