- A 45-minute video call for groups of six or more
- Ten copies or more at a group price from Harbour Books (sample)
Questions for book clubs
For discussion after reading; they give away the ending.
Why does Nell's mother write the tide dates down twice?
Think about the pencil and the ink: what is she sure of, and when?
Who is the orchard for?
Nell, Tom and their mother each answer this differently. Whose answer does the ending agree with?
Is the sea the villain of The Salt Orchard?
The water is never described as an enemy. What does the book blame instead?
Which Harrow novel would you start a new reader on?
The books can be read alone. Which one stands best on its own, and what would a new reader miss?
