    Here are some ideas for comments:
     
    • The House of Power is the first of a series of books.  Predict what could happen in the next Atherton.
    • Explain the importance of something that is secret or forbidden in The House of Power.
    • Carman uses some vivid description in The House of Power.  What is one thing, person, place, or event Carman describes especially well?  Share some good describing words or paraphrase what Carman says.
    • If you were going to visit one of the three worlds of Atherton, which one would you visit, and why?
