- Reading
- Read together if useful, pausing when Rachel faces a choice about what to share. Invite your reader to weigh her reasons without assuming that keeping a secret is always right or wrong.
- Themes
- Keeping powers private: Rachel considers whether to tell school friends, her father, her step-mother and her boyfriend that she is a witch. The book’s stance on this remains unclear.
- Romantic choices: Rachel has a boyfriend, Raf, and struggles to tell Adam that Raf exists while Adam shows interest in her. The setup raises questions about honesty and commitment, but does not establish how the story judges Rachel’s choices.
- Worth knowing
- Dating and romantic attention are part of the story: Rachel has a boyfriend and another boy wants to spend time with her. The extent of romantic content beyond this is unclear.
