Victoria believes her father has been framed and seeks evidence in the bank’s files rather than accepting the accusation.
Victoria takes an active role in responding to her father’s arrest and uses her computing ability to investigate.
Be ready to talk about the pressure Victoria feels when an adult is arrested and she believes the family has been wronged. Hacking raises useful questions about rules, evidence and responsibility.
This is a grounded book brief while Suitabook strengthens the analysis: the book’s treatment of its main themes is not yet firm enough.
