There are more than two sides to every story. Multiple perspectives and positions on politics. Ponder the pluralities. And the ironies.
In this real-world story, taking place within a familiar classroom setting (pre-pandemic), nonfiction underscores topics and themes. Relevant and complex questions are asked of students (and readers), proving there are no easy answers because viewpoints vary. Considering the circumstances and consequences, stakes are higher for certain characters.
Romantic subplots reveal modern-dating issues and intrigue. Picture the movie American Pie (1999) with less antics and more intellectualism, pivoting around a teacher’s adult perspective. Think back to the television show Beverly Hills 90210 (1990’s): emotional high schoolers in Southern California, teen drama with timely concerns, albeit before smart phones.
