Maggie relies on a twenty-sided die while trying to manage everyday situations and fears that a wrong number could lead to something going wrong.
Maggie wants to get through her first year, choose after-school clubs and make friends despite not knowing anyone and feeling shy.
The key point to notice is how Maggie’s reliance on the die is portrayed: the story may invite reflection on whether rules provide reassurance, create pressure, or both.
