Going Nowhere Faster
Sean Beaudoin
- Reading
- Try reading a little together at first, then check whether the humour and Stan’s predicament are engaging. If the stalking subject is a concern, look for more detail before continuing.
- Themes
- Expectations and direction: The town expects Stan to become something and go somewhere, while he is stuck at Happy Video and must decide what he wants. The premise raises a tension between public expectations and personal direction, but does not establish which goals the story ultimately values.
- Worth knowing
- Stalking is listed among the book’s subjects, but how it features, and how it is treated, remain unclear. A parent may wish to check this element if it matters to their reader.
