AviA modern alternative to SparkNotes and CliffsNotes, SuperSummary offers high-quality Study Guides with detailed chapter summaries and analysis of major themes, characters, and more.
The Secret School by Avi captivates readers with its historical setting and determined protagonist, Ida Bidson. The narrative, set in 1925 Colorado, is praised for its inspiring depiction of resilience and the importance of education. However, some critics find the plot predictable and characters slightly underdeveloped. Overall, it’s a charming and motivational read suitable for middle-grade audiences.
Readers who enjoy The Secret School by Avi are typically young adults who appreciate historical fiction, themes of perseverance, and educational empowerment. Comparable to readers of Little House on the Prairie by Laura Ingalls Wilder and Anne of Green Gables by L.M. Montgomery, they value stories of young protagonists overcoming societal challenges.
