Fiction

Themes in Context

Speaking out and causing harm

Rosalind starts a blog to speak up, but its posts become unkind and it grows into a bullying blog.

How the book presents it: The plot sets speaking out alongside the possibility of causing harm; Rosalind’s response is not presented as uncomplicated.

Talk about: If the blog harms others, how might Rosalind respond while still finding a way to speak?

Why It May Be Worth Reading

The story offers a way to explore how being hurt and trying to respond can become tangled with hurting others, while leaving room to consider responsibility and repair.

What Deserves Attention

School peer conflict is central: Rosalind is picked on, and her own blog contains unkind posts and grows into a bullying blog.

A Conversation Worth Having

If Rosalind’s posts hurt someone, what might taking responsibility look like while still allowing her to express what she has experienced?

Reading Approach

Check in as the blog’s role changes: pause after the early posts and later conflict to ask how Rosalind’s choices affect both her and other pupils.
