Skin Deep
E. M. Crane
- Reading
- Read together or check in after a few chapters, if helpful; invite discussion of Andrea’s changing perspective without requiring a single interpretation.
- Themes
- First impressions and social roles: Andrea sees herself as a spectator and low in the school social hierarchy; her new responsibilities unsettle her sense of what is predictable. The book’s stance on this remains unclear.
- Life, death and hope: Life and death, hope and love are named among the book’s themes; Andrea’s neighbour is sick. The book’s stance on this remains unclear.
- Worth knowing
- Life and death are named themes, and Andrea’s neighbour is sick.
