Twelve year old Lily has always been a quiet girl who did not live a very interesting life. This all changed on career day when she went to work with her dad. On this day she meets her dad’s boss Larry. Lily knows from the start that something about him is weird. Later she finds out that he is a mad scientist who plans to take over the world with whales on stilts. Lily and her best friends, Katie and Jasper, help her to stop Larry and save the world.
I would use this book in literature groups in my classroom. A small group of students (4-6) would read the book together and discuss it while reading and after. I would guide the students with a reciprocal teaching chart. These students will summarize, question, predict, and connect the book to their own experiences. Each student would take turns leading their own discussion about the book. The students would record key information about each discussion in their literature journals.
