SuitabookSecret FC
Tom Palmer
- Reading
- Read it as a shared football-and-friendship story, pausing at the ban and the club’s formation. Afterwards, ask what each group wants and whether secrecy changes the fairness of the solution.
- Themes
- Rules, agency and secrecy: A new headmaster bans football in the playground, and the friends form a secret football club in response. The book’s stance on this remains unclear.
- Friendship through shared interests: Lily, Zack and Khal are presented as friends united by enthusiasm for football and a shared response to losing playground access. The book’s stance on this remains unclear.
- Worth knowing
- Be ready for a school-rule conflict and children keeping a club secret.
