- Reading
- Try reading a little together at first, then pause to ask what Sarah wants to keep private and why. Revisit the conversation as her situation develops.
- Themes
- Keeping camp and home separate: Sarah enjoys camp but worries that Phoebe, a classmate from home, could reveal secrets to the other campers. The premise foregrounds Sarah’s concern about disclosure; it does not establish whether keeping secrets is presented as helpful, harmful or resolved.
- Worth knowing
- Sarah is worried about embarrassment if her secrets become known. The extent of her distress, and how the other campers respond, are not clear.
