Its not often that you come across a book club kit that really helps cement the contents of the book in your head. I love the idea of this one and really look forward to more like it!

I'm planning to use this book for my library teen book group and I think this kit is amazing! They are really going to love the tox quiz.

This is such a fun and creative kit! I actually thought the book was just ok when I read it but the author interview has made me view the novel in a whole new light. The activities and recipes are a nice touch. I also loved the book and movie recommendations, and will definitely be checking them out! Indeed a great resource for book clubs!

This is such a fun, engaging book club kit! I love reading interviews with authors, and hearing about what inspired them to write their novel. The included discussion questions are perfect for encouraging deeper exploration of the book's characters and themes, the kit is easily printable/accessible and I loved how Netgalley began including on their sites. Will definitely use in the near future with my very own book club.

I found this bookclub kit very interesting, especially the Q & A with the author! I would highly recommend especially for those who are big fans of Wilder Girls!

the wilder girls book club kit has a letter from the author and book recommendations for when you finish the book. fun activities included in this kit are food and drink recipes, a playlist, a quiz, and a flowchart.

I can see how this would been a great addition for any book club who are reading this! Lots of great activities and discussions for the group to try out and engage with.

As usual, this kit contains an author interview, What was different? Her reaction to being compared to the Lord of the Flies! Apart from the usual content, it contains some amazing bottle labels that you can print out and use.

Thank you very much for this great book club kit for Wilder Girls! The attention to detail was evident and every page was filled with useful points to discuss! I have enjoyed the book club kits, and they work wonderful when promoting the books in our collection. The water bottle labels were such a great idea, I really think they will be popular with our teens. Thank you NetGalley, We Are Bookish, and Get Underlined. all opinions are my own.

I loved the cover but the book really isn't so interesting. Initially it is because of the Sapphic romance and the apocalyptic setting, but the idea of it being a feminist book is an overstatement. It's not as strong as it looks, and it left me particularly confused with the ending too.

I love these books club kits! Not only do they do they give further insight into the book but they also come with such fun goodies.

The Wilder Girls book club kit comes with some absolutely adorable water bottle labels to make your book club drinks pop.

What I loved most though was the recommended books to read and the tv shows to watch if you liked Wilder Girls.
This book was the perfect mix of surrealism and horror and I think the recommendation were spot on to match that vibe.

Overall this is a fun book club kit. The only improvement I'd make is a Tox themed cocktail or mocktail.

I loved the book “Wilder Girls” by Rory Power. This kit had amazing content within it. There were lots of good book club questions and I loved reading through the interviews of Rory. I definitely recommend if you are planning a “Wilder Girls” themed book club meeting!

Reading through this Book Club Kit helped me choose Wilder Girls for one of the upcoming reads in our book club, and I will definitely utilise the information and activities in the kit.

There is a list of discussion topics which encourage comparisons with other books and some are reasonably thought provoking. I found the recommendations of TV shows and other books based on your enjoyment of Wilder Girls (The Lord of the Flies, LOST, etc) quite useful because it gives you an idea for where to go next. I am often asked the question 'Can you recommend a book for people who enjoyed X?' and in the case of Wilder Girls I can now say absolutely, yes!

There are also some fun ideas in the kit - for example a complimentary song playlist to listen to whilst you're reading.

The kit also provides some information about the author, which is useful if you're interested in discussing the author. This is less relevant with Wilder Girls than it is with other books, where you might discuss the author's culture or their impact on the genre, etc, but some will find it interesting.

When we read Wilder Girls I will definitely draw on this kit for inspiration.

I read Wilder Girls before it came out, hoping it would be a great addition to my teen book club. I found parts of the book great for discussions. I wish that the book club kit had more discussion questions included. Once the teens get talking about points, they can carry on conversations well, but they often need those discussion questions to help them get started. Having pre-made discussion question lists means I can spend more time looking for more good books for the kids.

An excellent book club kit for Wilder Girls. There are tons of neat things included in the kit. This will be a fun resource for book clubs. Thank you for providing this ARC.

I found this book club kit so useful. It enhances the reading experience as well as helps the reader to see things from a different perspective, especially after reading the Author Interview. The bottle labels, book club quiz and the 'Would you Survive the Tox?' diagram are fun resources to use. This is definitely a must-have while reading Wilder Girls.

Thank you Netgalley for this gifted copy, it made such a difference while reading Wilder Girls.

“The way it happened is that the woods got it first. That’s what I think, anyway. Even before the wilderness reached inside us, it was seeping into the earth.”

The Raxter School for Girls has been put under quarantine since the Tox hit.
It started slow, first the teachers died one by one. Then it began to infect the students. When Hetty’s best friend Byatt goes missing, she will do anything to find her, even break quarantine and face the horrors behind the fence.
Have you ever finish a book and just don’t know what to think about it?
I went to this book completely blind, wich I often do, I was drawn to it by the cover wich I loved.
It’s a creepy story with apocalyptic vibes and bad ass female characters.
The end left me a little confused and with a lot of questions so I’m hoping for a sequel.

“The cure is coming, as long as we stay alive.”

“The Tox took who they were, took everything except how to hold a knife.”

“We shouldn’t be here. This place isn’t ours anymore.”
