What Parents Need to Know
About Suite Scarlett
Parents need to know that there isn't much to worry about in this book. Fifteen-year-old Scarlett shares some smooches with a cute college freshman and her brother makes some references to his past wild sexual behavior (and flirts with one of the hotel's much older guests). Mrs. Amberson smokes and tells Scarlett it's OK for her to drink a little at a cast party. Also, Scarlett helps her boss pull a mean prank on a rival, and they do hide from her parents the fact that they are staging the play in the hotel.

Families Can Talk About
- Families can talk about other books and movies that feature big quirky families. Why do we find this so appealing? What sort of clichés do writers fall into when creating these families (Think: The good sister, the wild brother, etc)?
