Pay attention to how the story handles opposition from Amy’s parents and Adam’s mother, and whether the “colour game” is presented as helpful, harmful, or more complicated than either.
This is a grounded book brief while Suitabook strengthens the analysis: the current material supports only a cautious reading; another book-specific source is still needed.
