Response: Response For my response, I created a front page of the newspaper on a scene that occurred in the book.
Exploration: Exploration For my Exploration, I emailed the author, Caroline B. Cooney Dear Caroline B. Cooney, I am a student at BCS and a fan of your books. One particular book I liked was Code Orange. A few questions I have about this novel is did you ever struggle in school like Mitty did? Can you relate to his feelings towards school? Also, why did you choose smallpox to be the disease Mitty researched? Did you ever research smallpox yourself? My last question is why is your scene New York City? Do you live there yourself, or did you find it an interesting place for a kidnapping to happen? Thank you for your time. Sincerely, Nikki B
