The Bee's Bookshelf discussion

Let's use this space to discuss our thoughts, feelings, opinions, and reactions to The Secret Keepers by Trenton Lee Stewart.

One of the questions I thought about why I was reading The Secret Keepers is what I would do if I had the watch. Would I keep it to myself? Would I tell my mom? Would I use the secret powers of the watch for personal gain? Would I try to return the watch to its owner?

What would you guys do with the watch? And, if you're not done with the book yet, what do you think Reuben is going to try to do with the watch?

Hmmm... I really don't know what I would do! That's a very difficult situation to be in. I think I would get really scared when the watch turned me invisible, but I wouldn't tell my mom. I would try to figure out where it came from, but I wouldn't use it unless it was absolutely necessary.

I'm inclined to agree with you, Grace. I really think that the turning invisible part would scare me too, and I wouldn't want to mess with the watch more than necessary until I was completely sure what I was dealing with. It would also scare me when the watch zaps your energy. I would be afraid of using it and then being too weak and tired to do anything, especially if I was using it in a risky situation.
