- Reading
- Because the story is told in vignettes, try reading a section at a time and pausing to notice what each adds to Chili's view of people, places or the wider world.
- Themes
- Home and the wider world: Chili wants the freedom to leave her small Kentucky town, while her mother calls it her true home; Chili also learns to recognise beauty in familiar people and places. The book’s stance on this remains unclear.
- Rumours and secrets: Chili and Willie befriend Miss Matlock despite rumours about her, and the story also mentions secrets in unexpected places. The book’s stance on this remains unclear.
- Worth knowing
- The story includes rumours about Miss Matlock and hints of secrets. Their nature and significance are not clear, so a reader wanting to know how these are handled may prefer to check in as they read.
