Bali Rai
- Reading
- If the reader has not read Dream On, briefly explain that this is a sequel, then pause after disruptive events to discuss Baljit’s choices. Revisit the ending together, since its resolution is unclear here.
- Themes
- Ambition and responsibility: Baljit is close to a place in Liverpool FC’s youth squad while still working in his father’s chip shop. The situation invites reflection on competing responsibilities, but the book’s judgement of Baljit’s priorities is not known.
- Pressure from outside events: Several disruptive or threatening situations intervene while Baljit is trying to stay in the game. These events appear to test Baljit’s ability to cope, but their moral framing and consequences cannot be determined.
- Worth knowing
- Some attention may be useful around local thugs, match-day disasters and trouble on the road. Their seriousness, detail and consequences are not established, so check in if your reader prefers advance warning.
