- Reading
- Before reading, ask what makes fame rewarding and costly. Afterwards, compare Wonder’s public image with her priorities, and discuss whether the ending changes your view of success.
- Themes
- Fame and identity: The book addresses fame and identity; the detail of how it is developed remains unclear. Fame is shown as bringing sweet rewards as well as a price, while the story ultimately places importance on life beyond glamour.
- Family legacy and loss: Wonder stands in the shadow of Lucky, her sister and a former developing pop star who died in an accident. The book?s stance on this remains unclear.
- Returning to ordinary life: The book addresses returning to ordinary life; the detail of how it is developed remains unclear. The book presents this favourably.
- Worth knowing
- For further checking, prioritise how the book treats Wonder’s sister’s death and grief, the reasons for the career’s end, and the extent and tone of its references to sex, romance and school life.
