- Reading
- Read together or check in after scenes involving the coat’s influence; invite discussion of how Loma’s two predicaments differ without assuming how either is resolved.
- Themes
- Living with someone else’s reputation: Loma occupies Megan’s body after Megan has bullied friends and enemies, and encounters the resulting hostility. The premise makes social consequences part of Loma’s predicament, but does not establish whether the comic ultimately presents Megan’s treatment or Loma’s response as just.
- The coat’s influence and danger: The book addresses the coat’s influence and danger; the detail of how it is developed remains unclear. The premise establishes a conflict between what the coat enables and what it may cost Loma; it does not show how she responds or what happens.
- Worth knowing
- The premise includes past bullying, a brain described as damaged, pursuit by dangerous forces, and the coat’s influence eroding Loma’s soul. These may merit a check-in.
