SuitabookWe All Fall Down

- Reading
- You could read alongside the book’s historical setting, pausing to distinguish what Will expects from what unfolds. Check in after sections about the attacks and let your reader choose what they want to discuss.
- Themes
- A father-and-son relationship: Will doubts that his father will make time for him, because his father’s work hours mean they do not see one another often. Will’s disappointment and uncertainty frame the relationship through his expectations of the time he and his father will spend together.
- Worth knowing
- The story is set during the September 11 terrorist attacks, an event that profoundly changes Will’s life and relationships. Consider whether your reader is ready for a story centred on this historical event.
