- Reading
- If suspense is a concern, read together at first and check in after the early revelations; you can pause to discuss how the uncertainty is affecting the reader.
- Themes
- Trust and foreknowledge: Skye's three new friends seem able to foretell the future. The book’s stance on this remains unclear.
- Death and danger: The book addresses death and danger; the detail of how it is developed remains unclear. Death and danger are central to the mystery, but the nature of the events and the story's treatment of them cannot be determined.
- School relationships and reputation: Skye forms new friendships, is attracted to Craig, and the school social world includes cliques and a cheerleader described as socially ambitious. These details establish social pressures and attraction, but not whether the story endorses or criticises particular behaviour.
- Worth knowing
- A death, a possible murder plot and the suggestion of danger give the story suspenseful, potentially unsettling material; its level of detail is unclear.
