The grounding of Group 6
Julian F. Thompson
- Reading
- Consider reading together or checking in after the opening setup, then decide whether to continue at a pace that suits your reader. The level of on-page violence and the ending remain unclear.
- Themes
- Trust and adult responsibility: The teenagers believe they are attending an exclusive school; their parents chose it, and their orientation leader has a hidden lethal assignment. The premise places adult decisions and deception at the centre, but does not show how the story judges them.
- Worth knowing
- The premise includes a hired teacher intending to kill the teenagers, so threat of death and danger in the woods are central concerns. The extent or detail of violence is unclear.
