- Reading
- Pause after introducing Second Chance to explore what rehabilitation might involve. Later, compare Darius’s idea of heroism with the professional superheroes’ example, without assuming the ending.
- Themes
- Second chances and rehabilitation: Darius enters a programme for ex-criminals and works with reformed supercriminals while attempting to create a new life. The book?s stance on this remains unclear.
- What makes a hero: Darius has no superpowers but may need to help save the day while working beside superheroes he admired. The setup creates a contrast between extraordinary abilities and ordinary agency; the story’s final judgement is unknown.
- Belonging and identity: Darius works alongside heroes he idolised as a child while trying to create a new life after serious trouble. The book?s stance on this remains unclear.
- Worth knowing
- The premise includes orphanhood, serious trouble, possible imprisonment, criminal pasts and a threat from sinister forces.
