Revolver by Marcus Sedgwick

Charlotte’s Web by E. B. WhiteRevolver is a chilling young adult thriller written by British writer, illustrator and musician Marcus Sedgwick. This novel tells the story of a boy named Sig Andersson as he pieces together the untold stories of his dead father. 

The opening line of the book was “Even the dead tell stories” and this line was repeated throughout the novel. How do you interpret this statement, and how is it found true at different points of the story?

What is the significance and meaning of the revolver in this story? Does the revolver save or harm Sig? How were guns viewed as a point of conflict in Sig's house? Would you stand on Einar or Nadya’s side when it comes to the perception of guns? Why?

Einar and Maria both tried to teach Sig the same message but using different routes. What was the message, and how did their personalities affect the methods they chose? What impact did these teachings have on the way Sig dealt with Wolff?

Sig and Anna’s relationship was described with such a line: “There were enough years between them that they’d never been rivals, only friends.” What does that mean? What else did you find out about their relationship? How did their past help them team up against Wolff?
