These are original discussion questions written by BookBrowse.

1. Have you read any other books in which a character runs off to join the circus? How does One of Us compare?
2. The twins' mother tasks them with helping her poison her husband. What did you think of this moment, and how do you think it affected the twins?
3. Through Uncle Charlie, we learn about the twins' dad, Jasper. How do you think the book would have been different if they'd grow up with their father?
