How did your weekend reading go? If you planned on anything specifically, did you read it?

Read "A Step Towards Falling" by Cammie McGovern, a rather interesting book about learning from your mistakes and not to judge others. It tells the story of two teenagers who are sent to a community service for disabled youths after witnessing ~ and doing nothing about ~ an attack on a girl with disabilities at their school.

It does raise questions about bystander responsibility and, although I had one or two issues with important plot elements that get swept under the carpet, I think it's more of a debate book.

It sounds like you're right. I'd love to hear a conversation in a high school/GCSE English class after they'd read it.
