HARPER'S DAD IS getting a divorce from her beloved stepmother, Jane. Even worse, Harper has lost her stepsister, Tess; the divorce divides them. Harper decides to escape by joining a volunteer program to build a house for a family in Tennessee who lost their home in a tornado. Not that she knows a thing about construction.

Thursday

Discussion questions Muriel's wedding:

2. What is Muriel's number one aim in life?
3. Why do you think Muriel wanted to be called Mariel instead?
4. Why do think Muriel so desperately wanted to get married?
5. What became a turning point for Muriel? When in the story did she "wake up" and what did she realise then?
