- Reading
- Read together if the costume mystery or accusations feel tense; pause to compare what is known with what Clay suspects, without trying to settle the mystery ahead of the book.
- Themes
- Solving the theft: Clay believes the costume and theft are connected and is determined to solve the crime. The plot presents investigation as Clay’s response to the mystery; the book’s broader view of his methods or conclusions is unknown.
- Suspicion among friends: Clay’s friends are suspected after money goes missing from the park’s till. The suspicion creates a possible tension between friendship and the search for the truth, but the book’s handling of that tension is unknown.
- Worth knowing
- Someone in a lynx costume is described as scaring park staff, and the theft brings Clay’s friends under suspicion. The intensity of these scenes and the consequences for the friends are unclear.
