- Reading
- Read together in short stretches around the target-identification mystery. Pause to compare what Andy knows about each student with what he is guessing, and revisit those judgements as clues emerge.
- Themes
- Honesty and recruitment: After finding money connected with a bank robbery, Andy turns it in; this brings him to the attention of the Agents of the Glass and into a new assignment. The plot treats Andy’s decision to return the money as selfless and as the action that earns the agency’s attention.
- A mystery organised around suspicion: Andy must determine which of two students to follow, while trying not to alert NTRP to his mission. The uncertainty about which student to follow drives the spy mystery and its suspense.
- Worth knowing
- The premise includes a bank robbery, a dangerous student, secret-agent surveillance and a threat from an evil organisation.
