Cash, Fitch and Bird face different school and personal difficulties while living in a tense household.
Their parents argue in front of the children, and Bird feels responsible for keeping the family together.
The class prepares for the Challenger launch; Bird is fascinated by the mission, and the disaster becomes part of the story.
The story includes the fatal Challenger disaster, frequent parental arguments, repeated insults and name-calling, and an angry outburst in which a student uses a hurtful body-related insult.
This is a grounded book brief while Suitabook strengthens the analysis: some draft conclusions still depend on unresolved evidence.
