Deal With It
Tameka deals with several life-changing events, one event being the death of her grandpa Drew. Have you ever lost someone close to you (a grand-parent, aunt, uncle or parent)? If so, how did you deal with it? What did you do to get past the pain of losing someone close to you? - Do you think that Tameka should’ve revealed her cousin Roni’s secret of being raped to her mother, or should she have kept it to herself?
- The conversation between Tameka’s mom and Roni’s mom was never revealed. What do you think Tameka’s mom said to Roni’s mother that made her let Roni go to Atlanta to live?
- Do you think that Roni’s mother was sorry about her husband raping Roni, or do you think she didn’t care at all? What do you think she should’ve done about it?
- What do you think Tameka should’ve done about the pregnancy? Do you think she made the right choice in keeping the baby or should she have chosen abortion?
- Were you happy when Vance showed up in his tuxedo and
told Tameka that everything would be okay? What do you think happened in their lives after that night? - Was Indigo being selfish when she didn’t congratulate Jade for making team captain?
- Have you ever been in competition with someone close to you (a friend or cousin) for something that you really wanted? Did you win, or did they win?
- Should Jade have covered for Indigo when she had a detention, or did she do the right thing by telling Miss Martin the truth? Have you ever been in the position of having to tell on your friend? How did you handle it?
- Which character in this book would you include in the next Indigo Summer book? Why?
