SuitabookThe Amazing Days Of Abby Hayes #16
Anne Mazer
- Reading
- Read together, pausing when Abby’s idea meets the school restriction. Invite your reader to weigh her goal and possible choices, then revisit the discussion once the outcome is known.
- Themes
- Ambition and rules: Abby sees cookie sales as a possible way to earn enough for writing camp, while pupils are not supposed to sell things on school grounds. The premise sets up a tension between pursuing a personal goal and following a school restriction; the story’s judgement of Abby’s idea is not established.
- Worth knowing
- Abby considers selling on school grounds despite a rule against it. Whether she acts, gets into trouble or faces any particular consequence remains unclear.
