- Reading
- You could read alongside your teenager and pause when the story shifts between worlds, giving them room to talk about which parts feel most compelling or troubling.
- Themes
- Identity, ability and responsibility: Lily finds herself in a Salem where her counterpart is a powerful and cruel Crucible; Lily also faces abilities and responsibilities she can barely understand. The contrast between Lily and her powerful counterpart places identity, power and responsibility at the centre of the story’s setup.
- Worth knowing
- Expect frightening creatures and violence, as well as sexual situations and mild profanity. The story also includes humiliating social experience and life-threatening allergies.
