SuitabookPirates of the Retail Wasteland
Adam Selzer
- Reading
- Read together if useful, pausing to compare what the friends hope to achieve with what their actions actually do; revisit the crush and teacher plotlines if either raises questions.
- Themes
- Protest and local business: Leon and his friends try to protect their favourite coffee shop by taking over a competing chain café. The book’s stance on this remains unclear.
- Unwanted crush: Leon is dealing with an unwanted crush. The situation is named, but its details and the story’s attitude towards it are not established.
- Poems aimed at the gym teacher: Dustin has an ongoing quest to take down the gym teacher via depressing poems. The book’s stance on this remains unclear.
- Worth knowing
- The story includes an unwanted crush and a plan to take down a gym teacher through poems. How these situations are handled, and how intense they become, remains unclear.
