The Cabinet of Wonders by Marie Rutkoski


MacMillan Book Trailer featuring The Cabinet of Wonders
and the next book in The Kronos Chronicles The Celestial Globe

Questions:
1. How would you feel if you suddenly went blind like Petra's father? How would life be different for you?

2. If you could invent something, what would it be? How would your invention help or make life easier for people?

3. If you could have a magical power, what would it be? How would you use your power? Would you let others know about your power?

  1. 1. It would be different because I wouldn't be able to see
    2. I would make an computer search so if you can't find something it will
    take you there.
    3. I would want to have a mind power so I could see what happens in the future. I would tell my friends so I can give them a warning if needed.

  2. I would have to depend on all of my other senses

    It would be a flying car because people wouldn't have to waste money on a plane ticket and a car

    It would be to talk to animals because I could help train animals and if I was in a danger could get them to help

  8. 1 If suddenly went blind than I would have to depend alot more on others to help me.
    2 If I could invent something to help someone I would make a machine that could feed people that don't have food.
    3 If I could have any magical power than mine would be to control time so I could fix past and future mistakes I would use my power to help myself with mistakes that I made and I wouldn't let anyone know because they might tell

  12. I would feel clastrophobic because I would be so overwhelmed.

    I would invent a car that would run on trash or something so our world will be under less pollution.

    If I had a super power it would have the ability to be invisible. I would love to sneak up on people and find out what exactly what they were doing. Of course I wouldn't tell anyone or my power would go to waste.
