This is a discussion topic for the March 2024 Book of the Month, "SandPeople: An Across Time Mystery" by Cheryl Kerr

What did you think of this book when you first read its title?

I haven't had the time to start reading it yet, but I believe the book is about time-traveling adventures, maybe it has something to do with the beach. I'm excited to find out!

When I first read the title what came to my mind was a book full of Adventures

I just thought of Adventures and the beach.

With only the title, the book comes across as a thrilling adventure with a young female lead.

The title made me think of that maybe a civilization of people called sand people. With the subtitle, I though of their history across time

My first impression of the book from the title is that it's a science fiction and adventure novel. Maybe something about time travel.

I thought it was sci-fi and had to do with time somehow. I was shocked to learn what it was really about.

I thought the book was about a group of people originating from the sand. I know it sounds funny, but I had this idea in my head of what I taught the book was about. However, the book exceeded my expectations

With no other reference point, I was sure that this was a science fiction novel.

When I read the title of this book, I assumed it to be a science fiction story with time travel at the centre of it.

First of all, the title was interesting and made me curious to read the book. Reading just the title, I thought it was related to some tribe. Either from the islands or the dessert. SandPeople felt like a community-based story to me.

The first impression of the title "Sand People" was that the plot is about people living in sandy areas—a story of their struggles as a community. The yellowish tint on the cover made me think of real sands more.

The title doesn't reveal too much about the plot, leaving room for the reader's imagination to run wild. It could be literal, referring to people who live in the sand, or metaphorical, representing something more symbolic.

"SandPeople" is a unique and evocative title. It sparks curiosity and raises questions about who these "SandPeople" might be and their connection to the sandy setting.
