- Reading
- Try reading a little together, then pause to ask which of Abbie’s difficulties feels most manageable and which would be hardest to handle. Revisit the conversation as the story unfolds.
- Themes
- Managing unexpected setbacks: Abbie’s plans for the school year are disrupted, and she also has to adjust to a new cat at home. The book’s stance on this remains unclear.
- A difficult start with a peer: The person who has Abbie’s locker is also her new science partner. The shared role creates an awkward situation, but the outline does not explain either character’s intentions or how they treat one another.
- Worth knowing
- Abbie is described as frazzled by school hazards and convinced the new cat is out to get her. How strongly these worries are presented is unclear.
