Cosima and other girls live in a Victorian home because disabled children are described as being hidden from society or judged unfit for ordinary society. They have distinct personalities, hobbies and skills.
Cosima and her friends pool their skills and creativity to plan a heist, after earlier cake-stealing scams and pranks. The group includes girls with different disabilities and personalities.
The adoption offer is described as dubious, and the heist and unresolved parentage mystery may create suspense or emotional concern.
This is a grounded book brief while Suitabook strengthens the analysis: some draft conclusions still depend on unresolved evidence.
Anything not established here remains open; it is not being treated as absent or safe.
