- Reading
- Consider checking in after the scenes involving bullying or a fight, then let the reader choose whether to discuss them. The amount of detail in these scenes is unclear.
- Themes
- Bullying and past behaviour: Dan has bullied someone before and now intervenes when a smaller pupil is targeted. The premise places past and present behaviour side by side, but does not establish how the book judges Dan’s past or his actions.
- Being seen as a hero: Dan wants to avoid attention, but the school regards his intervention as heroic. The contrast between Dan’s wish and the school’s reaction is clear; whether the story approves of either response is not established.
- Worth knowing
- The book’s plot is explicitly noted as containing profanity and violence, alongside bullying and a fight. Their detail, frequency and intensity are not specified.
