Predictions and Questions: Scarlett Fever by Maureen Johnson
Juliana Discher Bell 5
I just started this book, after a recommendation from a Half Price Book Store employee, and I think she did a good job in recommending it. I'm only on page 40, but I'm hooked. The bright purple cover and picture of a key adorned with hearts also attracted my attention right off the bat.
So far I predict that the main character, Scarlett, will have a relationship with Max, the mysterious but intelligent brother of a girl named Chelsea she works with. I believe this because in the next chapter Scarlett is going to go to a play with Max and the author foreshadows slightly that there could be some sort of romance between the two. I also predict that along with falling for Max, Scarlett will get over her ex-boyfriend Eric. I think there will be more drama with Eric, because his character is described as a very sneaky, slimy guy. My final prediction is that Scarlett is going to have some family drama because her younger sister is recovering from cancer and her parents are struggling.
I have a couple questions currently. My first question, is what kind of hotel does Scarlett's family work at? I believe that it is a hotel infamous for its plays, but I'm not quite sure. My other question is, does Scarlett participate in plays and is this how she met Eric? I believe these questions will be cleared up as I read further.
