Kamal moves from keeping a low profile to pursuing popularity and school status after a humiliating incident.
Kamal wants to become school captain and considers advice promising popularity, while the story raises whether he might abandon his friends.
Kamal is a refugee who has changed schools repeatedly and has learned to keep his head down.
Notice how Kamal’s refugee identity and experiences of changing schools are handled alongside ordinary school frustrations. Consider whether the humour gives these experiences depth, simplifies them, or does both.
This is a grounded book brief while Suitabook strengthens the analysis: the book’s treatment of its main themes is not yet firm enough.
