The Winning Edge
Michele Martin Bossley
- Reading
- Read a little ahead before discussing sensitive points, then pause after major sporting or investigative developments. Invite the reader to separate what happened from whether the book approves of it.
- Themes
- Competition and frustration: The book is associated with athletes, sports, competition and frustration, including hockey and other listed sporting subjects. The sporting context may invite reflection on winning, losing and pressure, but the story’s judgement of competitive behaviour is unknown.
- Mystery and wrongdoing: Mystery and detective elements are listed alongside sabotage, stealing and counterfeiting-related subjects. The book’s stance on this remains unclear.
- Worth knowing
- Consider checking in as the book introduces its conflict, particularly if references to sabotage, stealing or frustration feel unsettling. The degree and consequences of harm are not clear beforehand.
