The misfits club
Kieran Mark Crowley
- Reading
- Read alongside a conversation about endings and new beginnings. Pause to consider clues and decisions, then discuss whether the group’s response to the theft seems thoughtful and fair.
- Themes
- Friendship through change: The established club is disbanding just as Amelia joins, and the friends undertake one last adventure together. The book?s stance on this remains unclear.
- Mystery and responsibility: The children discover stolen goods and try to track down the people behind the theft. The book?s stance on this remains unclear.
- Worth knowing
- The spooky old house and pursuit of people connected with theft may bring suspense. The emotional effect of the club ending is also worth noticing, although the intensity and resolution are unclear.
