I loved that from the beginning she had teachers and school staff members who were allies and, importantly, weren't afraid to share with her and the other students what they thought and why. I love that her view of books was challenged and how she was able to expand her view of the effects of books on herself and others. This allowed her to make friends she never thought she would have. I loved that she had one opinion of Ashton and Jack (what did she call them? The super-supers or something?), but then she had the opportunity to really see them - and, importantly, she took the opportunity. She didn't just accept that she was doing it as a reflex response to what the school was doing. I loved that Clara really questioned her underground library. This book was full of such insight and heart.
