- Reading
- Before reading, check the opening chapters for the main storyline and the book’s treatment of wealth, relationships and school life. Revisit any moments where appearance or privilege shapes a character’s choices.
- Themes
- Privilege, glamour and self-presentation: Pace Academy is described as a school for children of rich and famous families; a brief scene presents luxury and a glamorous sense of identity. The book’s stance on this remains unclear.
- Worth knowing
- Consider whether a setting focused on wealth, celebrity and polished presentation fits your child’s interests, and whether you want to discuss how glamorous surroundings affect characters’ self-image.
