What Happened to Lani Garver, written by Carol Plum-Ucci, is a book about what happens when a girl, who has just overcome cancer, meets Lani Garver-who no one knows is a girl or a boy. the theme of this book was non-comformity. Lani Garver never cared that no one knew what gender he ( i'm just using he because i think Lani was a boy, but that information was never mentioned in the book) was. He also didn't care that because of this fact, he became an outsider who peopled talked about regularly. Lani just wanted to be his self. i really liked this book because it was the first book where a lot of information wasn't given about one of the main characters. so Lani was a mystery to me as well as a mystery for the characters in the book. i think an implied argument of the book was not to judge people because they are different.
questions: Why do you think it was so important for the characters in the book to figure out what gender Lani Garver was?
Do you think Lani Garver was an angel?

I think the characters needed to find out Lani's gender so badly was because they needed to find some sort of normalcy to him. Lani being so different from them made them really uncomfortable; people don't like different and when faced with diversity they welcome it, become curious about it or shunn it completely like Claire's friends
