Discussion Guide for Dead Real by Poppy T. Perry

So you've just finished Dead Real by Poppy T. Perry. Or maybe you’re halfway through, already gripped by Nora and Ruby’s wild, weird, and completely zombie-packed adventure. Either way, you’re in the right place.

This activity pack is crammed with creative questions, discussion starters, and hilarious hypotheticals to keep the story alive (or undead?) long after you’ve turned the last page. Whether you're in a reading group, classroom, library session, or just enjoying book talk with friends, this guide will help you dive deeper into the book’s themes, explore what you would do in a zombie apocalypse, and even have a proper chinwag about sharks. Yes, sharks. Because why not?

This isn’t just about survival; it’s about imagination, teamwork, laughs, and maybe deciding once and for all which biscuit is best when facing the end of the world.
