- Reading
- Track each girl’s choices separately rather than treating the competition as the only storyline. Pause after major reversals to discuss loyalty, ambition and what “winning” costs.
- Themes
- Achievement and status: Alpha Academy selects exceptional young people, can send contestants home, and presents worldwide fame as the prize for the one left standing. The premise foregrounds achievement and status, but the book’s overall judgement on this system is unclear.
- Friendship, loyalty and romantic tension: Charlie has a BFF and a Brazille beau, while Skye and Allie face personal complications involving Taz and AJ. Relationships are presented as important pressures within the competition, but their consequences and treatment remain unclear.
- Worth knowing
- Consider whether a setting that can dismiss contestants “at any time, for any reason” may feel unsettling, particularly alongside the pressure to secure recognition and remain in the competition.
