as notas de nora

It was refreshing to see a protagonist who uses wit and honesty to navigate challenges. I wonder if the author aimed to encourage kids to embrace their own intelligence.

The way the main character handles peer pressure and expectations made me think about how children learn to value authenticity. Was that a conscious message?

The classroom environment feels very authentic and shapes the story’s focus on grades, reputation, and honesty. Did the author draw from personal experiences?
