SuitabookWait for Marcy
Rosamond Du Jardin
- Reading
- Read together or check in afterwards about whether Marcy's hopes feel familiar. You could also discuss what makes someone feel recognised, without assuming the story gives a particular answer.
- Themes
- Being seen as grown up: Marcy is fifteen and hopes Steve will look past the familiar nickname “Squirt” and notice that she has changed. The premise raises the question of how someone is recognised by people who have known them for years.
- Worth knowing
- Romantic interest is part of the premise, including Marcy's hope that Steve will see her differently. The nature and extent of the romance are not established.
