Sabrina the schemer
Karen Rispin
- Reading
- Pause after the accusation to discuss what Anika knows, what she fears, and what remains uncertain. Revisit the ending together to consider how the friendship conflict is resolved, if it is.
- Themes
- Accusation and trust: Sabrina accuses Anika of stealing, and Anika worries whether her friends will trust her again. The book’s stance on this remains unclear.
- Faith and guidance: The book addresses faith and guidance; the detail of how it is developed remains unclear. The book presents this favourably.
- Worth knowing
- The story includes an accusation of theft, shame and concern about whether friends will continue to trust Anika. Consider whether those social stakes are comfortable to read about together.
