Movie Mission
Leslie McFarlane
- Reading
- If the threatening material may be unsettling, pause after the trailer fire or messages and talk through how the characters respond. Afterwards, discuss which clues seemed most important and whether the resolution satisfies.
- Themes
- Investigation and protection: Frank and Joe investigate threats surrounding Anya while attempting to keep her safe during filming and at a comic-book convention. The premise places problem-solving and protection at the centre, but does not show how the book evaluates the brothers’ methods or decisions.
- Threats around entertainment: A teen movie set becomes the focus of disruption after a trailer burns and threatening texts are sent to its star. The book?s stance on this remains unclear.
- Worth knowing
- Before reading, note that the premise includes a burned trailer, threatening messages and efforts to keep Anya safe. The intensity and detail of these incidents, and the ending, are unclear.
