Gosh, this book incorporates some seriously heavy topics and for that reason I’m exceedingly grateful about the content warnings included at the beginning. This is definitely an important read but one that people should not take lightly when deciding to delve into its content. This kit, naturally, begins with the author interview and then moves into some thought provoking discussion questions for a book club meeting—what I love about the questions is that they are also excellent for writing prompts as well. There are bookmarks included and some drink and food recipes. One unique thing about this kit is the inclusion of discussion questions to pair with watching the documentary film of the same name. I also really loved the “Make a Difference” section. The kit ends with further reading book recommendations.

I run a book club with friends and we are planning to read The Cave in the upcoming months. I'm excited to use this to facilitate discussions. I also love that it contains relevant drink and food recipes! How cool is that? There are also great resources at the end that I plan to look into. Thank you for this wonderful resource.

I was emotional when it was this book and frankly did not know how to engage in a conversation about this book. The book club kit helped me reflect on my thoughts and made our usually silent Library Boom Club more interactive! Thank you We Are Bookish for this resource!

I loved the book The Cave and was excited to check out this book club kit. I hope that the kit will help bring attention to this excellent book and encourage more book clubs to read it! I thought the kit was interesting and had great content. I did not use it as part of a book club, nor have I used similar kits before, but could see it being useful. Thanks to netgalley and the publisher for giving me the chance to check this one out!

A great book club guide for The Cave by Amani Ballour. I can see our adult book clubs enjoying the discussion questions and the information to follow up discussion provided in the kit.

Very interesting book club kit! The book deals with a heavy topic, so I like that the kit also includes ways to help. Always love seeing the recipes, in this case Syrian.

The book itself is a very difficult book to read as the content is extremely disturbing and heartbreaking. I think, however, it should be required reading for those of us living in areas that have never experienced something like this. I think it will help all of us to feel much more empathy and understanding towards refugees and will hopefully compel us to take action to help.

I did enjoy the book club kit for this book and especially liked the interview with the author. I am going to make sure I watch the documentary soon. I have made a donation to one of the organizations mentioned.

I will never look at Syria or her people the same way.

A brilliant book club kit for Rania Abouzeid and Amani Ballour's book The Cave. Author Interview, discussion questions and beautiful bookmarks.

It was very interesting how they talked about the author and after he read the book.The questions from the book club. I think this is really good because you can read the book.But they have questions to get really understanding the book even more. This is showing a woman can be very strong in the syria to become a doctor
