The False Prince Discussion Questions

Fun Book Club Discussion Questions for The False Prince:

This is such a clever, entertaining children’s book, a quick read, and perfect for readers of all ages and interests. The medieval theme was fun for a book club as well.  Thanks to DeliciousReads.com for showing me how fun it would be to host this book.

I’m not going to ask who your favorite character was or what your favorite part of the book is, because if you read the book we should all have pretty much have the same answers, Sage is our favorite character and we’ll be afraid to discuss our favorite part because its at the end and there is always someone who hasn’t quite finished the book. 

So, these survey questions helped us discuss the book, we talked about how they applied to the book and then how they applied to us.  They were fun and didn't really have a lot of spoilers in them, which was good because a few people weren't quite done with the book.  I did wish I had a crown to give away to the awesome girl who qualified to be our False Prince(ss).  She had 9 ½ “yes” answers on this survey.  I had everyone fill out the survey when they arrived and then we discussed the questions.  We loved hearing about the plays people have been in, their sneaking out at night escapades, their quirky talents, sibling rivalries, and some sweet moments where people turned a new page in their lives.  This list is just a starter, the character of Sage had so much personality and it was fun getting to know him as we read this book.

Are You The False Prince?
1.     Are you experienced in theater (have you been in a play)?
2.     Can you speak with an accent? (a second language counts!)
3.     Was your father musical?
4.     Did your mother ever work in a restaurant? (Sage's mother was a barmaid when she met his father)
5.     Have you ever changed your hair color or had a dramatically different hairstyle from what you have now?
6.     Do you have any special quirky talents such as rolling a coin, wiggling your ears, or a farmer whistle?
7.     Did you pay for your own stuff as a teenager or did you parents usually pay?
8.     Are you the odd one out in the family?
9.     Have you ever reinvented yourself, (major turning points where you decided to be different or start over)?
10.  Do you have an older brother/sister that was hard to live up to?
11.  Did you have good “sneaking out” skills as a youth?
12.  Are you a rock climber (or wall-climber)?
13.  Do you have a sarcastic sense of humor?
