The children move between ordinary play and a knightly chase involving a dragon and ruby.
Lilly and Thinama pursue the dragon and ruby, with swords, shouted challenges and a cliffside scene.
There are pretend weapons, a dragon with bared teeth, shouted threats and a cliffside predicament. The peril is fantastical, but the pursuit and battle imagery may merit a quick preview.
This is a grounded book brief while Suitabook strengthens the analysis: the book’s treatment of its main themes is not yet firm enough.
