- Reading
- Before reading, mention that the story includes bullying, harassment, hostile posts and damage to a library. Afterwards, invite reflection on whose experiences are heard and what remains unresolved.
- Themes
- Bullying and responsibility: Chavez High experiences harassment of an older teacher and picking on freshmen by popular girls. The story clearly places bullying across several relationships, but it is not clear how it judges the behaviour or what responses it supports.
- Online hostility and repair: Negative tweets and Facebook posts affect school spirit, followed by tagging of the school library and a question about undoing the damage. The book?s stance on this remains unclear.
- Worth knowing
- Bullying and harassment are prominent, involving an older teacher and younger students. Hostile social-media activity and library tagging may merit attention if your child finds social conflict upsetting.
