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.

This is a wonderful resource for prompting discussion and interaction around Wilder Girls A fantastic book kit for a fantastic book.

The book club kit was a great resource that adds a level of consideration to the book Wilder Girls. It was very helpful in making the read something that was thoughtful and endearing.

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.

Excelente material para trabajar luego de la lectura del libro. En el club de lectura no sirvió muchísimo y logramos profundizar más en la historia gracias a éste material

I am a huge fan of the book club kit. I feel it includes everything necessary to get you involved while also reading the book. I love seeing author interviews, as they really help you get into the mindset of the author and what they envisioned with the book, which helps me to read it in the correct mindset. I loved seeing the graphics and what the different labels from water bottles and food would actually look like. This gives me the ability to really visualize what I'm reading. The song playlist is a wonderful touch and something I would definitely listen to while reading. A discussion guide is always an essential touch when creating a book club kit, but my favorite part was definitely the quiz. I loved being able to figure out what my tox symptoms would be, and it definitely put me in the mindset of the characters. Also the would you survive the tox chart was absolutely fantastic and such a great addition to the kit. Overall, I really loved this kit and overall feel it is exactly what I would be looking for if I'm interacting with a book club while reading.

This bookclub kit is amazing! It's perfect to use with my bookclub and has everything I need to help make my monthly bookclub even more fun! Thank you for this extra resource and activities! I love these!

Thanks for the accompanying book club kit for the bok Wilder Girls. It's great for readalongs!
Thanks to Netgalley and We Are Bookish for the kit.

This Book Club Kit inspired me to build a creative writing exercise for my students. I loved the "bonus" reader discussion questions Rory Power wrote, so I had my students create something similar for their projects. Perhaps not exactly how these are intended to be used, but I found it to be a great source of inspiration and will look to some of the other Book Club Kits for the same reason.

I’m obsessed with these guides for my classroom and for myself ⭐️💙
Love how these guides really immerse you with the novel. I print these out and have them by our class’s mini book shelf. As an English teacher, helps the students enjoy their reading while also aiding in their critical thinking with the discussion questions. The quizzes were a great touch in this one too, super fun!
The recommendations at the end of the kit are so helpful to myself and our classroom to find books similar. Keeps the reading going!

This made me very excited to purchase this book. I think that creating book club kits is such a brilliant idea because many people picked up reading during the pandemic while quarantining alone at home. These will allow us to get more involved with the book community and enhance our experiences

This book club kit contains so many great things to aid in reading Wilder Girls! The author interview was thorough; There is a guide of what to serve at a book club meeting, water bottle labels, playlist, discussion guide, and even a quiz! I really loved the book and TV/movie recommendations to read after Wilder Girls.

This book club kit was super cool! I recently read Wilder Girls, so I thought it would be fun to give some feedback on the kit.
To start, I thought the Author Interview was a great touch, and creates room for a book club to build their own discussions based on the author's thoughts. It also gives more context to the story as a whole.
The menu and playlist were a surprise, and I found them to be such a great addition! My book club likes to create playlists for the books we read, so having one in the kit makes a great addition. When we start meeting in person again, we'll have to think about incorporating snacks (and certainly getting ourselves a book club kit like this)!
I really appreciated the read/watch next lists as well, and agree with most of the choices. I would say, however, that even though this book has some body horror, that it's still a YA novel. Because of that, I found it a bit odd that Mad Max, for example, was recommended as a movie due to the rating. Maybe if there was some sort of way to separate adult content recs? Or maybe I'm just overthinking that part of it.
All in all, it was a really great kit, and I think it would be a good fit for most book clubs, and prompt good discussions.

The kit was very detailed with unique and different questions.
Can't wait to use it in our bookclub during our discussion

As someone who has tried and failed to create or be apart of MANY book clubs, I absolutely love this kit! This book is one of my top books on my TBR along with a few friends, after showing this to them we have decided to read and discuss together and use this kit to guide us! And all the extra goodies are so cool! Loved the water bottle labels and the food and drinks section!

This was such a wonderful little kit!
The q&a and discussion questions were interesting but, again, my favourite parts were the added extras. There was a tox symptom quiz, alongside a 'would you survive the tox' quiz. I found these a lot of fun and really well thought out.
Another brilliant book club kit.

Wilder Girls has been on my wishlist for ages and I thought it would be a great idea to use the toolkit to get a bit more out of reading it. The Q&A with the author was interesting and I loved the book and TV recommendations for things you should consider reading/watching after finishing the book. I wasn't looking to use as part of a bookclub but think it's a fantastic idea.
