In my classroom, I don’t think that I would use this book with all of my students. I would probably give it to a small group of my top readers, and encourage them to read it independently. While they were reading, I would have them fill out some “think marks” on the characters and events from the book. After they had all completed the reading, I would guide them through a small literature circle discussion of the book, by using a mostly student-led discussion of themes, characters, events, etc. They would be advised to use their completed think marks to help them with their discussion.
