Families Can Talk About
- Families can talk about Robbie's actions. Why do you think he kills the store owner? Do you see any way this tragedy -- for the store owner and for Robbie -- could have been prevented? What do you make of Robbie's real-world behavior and that of his fictional alter ego, Megaboy? They also can talk about Robbie's relationships with his family, classmates, and the community. Who knows him well? Who do you think cares about him?
