All the Things That Could Go Wrong

I try to listen to what he says, but it’s hard not to laugh when the pufferfish make him look like he’s got elephant ears. Mr Francis lifts up his hand and shows me three fingers. I stop at the end of the aisle where Elliott Gibbs is standing on his own, looking at a map of the oceans. I’ll just have one last wash before I go. I rub my hands together; they sting and they’re red-raw like a pomegranate. The actual plot line of Alex helping Dan with the raft took about one third of the book to get to, however, I really felt like that first third really helped to build the characters up and their relationships with each other, and show the extent of the bullying before diving in to Alex helping with the raft. It was definitely not boring in any way and I think it was rather important it was done this way. Please read All the things that could go Wrong . If you are at Primary or Secondary school, please use it to think about your own lives and those of your fellow schoolmates and I hope there is something in the book that we can all learn from. If you are a teacher, please read it and share with your class -then I hope you can invite me to your school so we can all talk about it there.

Not only do we have the pleasure of reading about family life, but also the most precious friendship between two boys. I feel like this is a very overlooked aspect in modern literature so it was excellent to see. Dan and Alex are very different people but the way they interact is amazing. Especially since Dan is one of the main bullies of Alex, having this pressure on them only added to the intrigue. If you are struggling with OCD or bullying, be aware that these are subjects handled within the book. Alex’s thoughts felt very real and honestly scared me so consider if you’re in the position to read this. I’m worried about my worries. I could tell Mum and she’d phone the school and warn them what’s going to happen. But everyone would laugh and think I’ve gone crazy.

Need Help?

I found the unwillingness to tell an adult about the bullying (from Alex) particularly frustrating. Being a Mum myself I always encourage open communication, and fine it so frustrating to hear that a situation cannot be communicated because XYZ may happen. Then again, I am not a 12 year old with social anxiety, I am a 27 year old with social anxiety and a very strong opinion.

Picture this, you spend three months planning your biggest event yet and the day comes and things start to go wrong. If you're an experienced event planner then you know this is bound to happen, but if this is your first event you might be caught off guard. Wow, they really amped up the fantastical nature of this story for the movie, didn't they? Granted, it's been a while since I've seen it, but I remembered something a little harder to believe and a little less mundane. The only two instances that seemed familiar were Edward's encounter with the "giant" and meeting the two-headed woman. Otherwise, this mostly sad and philosophical tale focuses more about Edward's relationship with his son, our narrator. The question is still whether Edward's stories are made up, but an extra level is added, seemingly implying the stories might have been made up by William, the son, instead. Still, an interesting meditation on the relationship between father and son, both of which would like for the son to see the father as larger-than-life, a Great man, a Big Fish. Read more

Final thoughts

But nothing. This is a school trip; we’re not going to be allowed to visit these places if you misbehave. You’re here to learn, not be the joker. Do you understand?’ Dan! Dan!’ I feel a nudge in my ribs. Sophie’s grinning at me. Her teeth and her blonde hair have been turned purple by the lights. ‘This is boring,’ she whispers. ‘Let’s go to the souvenir shop.’

Now let me introduce Dan. Things aren’t easy for Dan either. His brother has left and everything has changed. His only option is to take out his frustrations on easy targets such as Alex. Both boys’ are tested when their mothers, oblivious to the tensions at school, arrange for the boys to meet up at weekends. Our second protagonist in which we split perspective with is Dan. Dan is angry; angry that his brother left him; angry that his parents won’t stop fighting but most of all: angry at the world. Why can’t he stop bullying Alex? Why can’t his brother come home? Why does everything have to be so unfair? And Alex, poor little Alex, bless him. You really get a sense of his struggles and being able to access the thoughts in his head was so important which is why it's such a good book to have included both the victim's and the bully's perspective.This book is set in year seven so the characters are on the younger side, but I feel like this book can be appreciated by all ages. It does mention Game of Thrones in at one point, nothing in depth, but simply stating the TV show, and personally, I'm not sure I would have really known too much about adult TV shows when I was that age (though I could be wrong), which I'm presuming is the target audience (though I could be completely wrong here as well), but now, slightly older than what I presume is the target audience I feel like that mention really added to the characters and who they are, which is why I feel it can be appreciated by older readers.

I blow out my cheeks and I think I hear Mr Francis do the same or it might be the sound of air bubbling in the tanks. At the end of the story, I could not help but scream "aww." Dan and Alex were the two people that you would never expect to ever become friends, but Dan finally learned the right from the wrong and befriended Alex. The idea of their friendship blossoming from the raft Shooting Star was such a good symbol of the novel. In the end, Alex, Dan, and Ben ventures on Shooting Star, which to me represents that their friendship took time, hard work, effort, and understanding, but at the end, it turned out to be a great adventure of friendship. You two get a move on, and Dan, you stand still.’ Mr Francis bends down so his head is level with mine. Two pufferfish swim behind him.If I tell Mum my worries, she’ll worry too. She hates it when I’m worried and I hate it when she worries about me. I could go on the trip and die with all the others, but then Mum and Lizzie would be left at home on their own when I’m gone. All the fish will pour out of the tanks and flap about on the floor with their mouths wide open. But if they flap hard enough maybe they’ll make it out of the aquarium doors, across the beach and into the sea.
