- Reading
- Try reading a letter at a time, pausing to notice what the grandfather chooses to tell his grandson and what remains uncertain about the expedition.
- Themes
- Family search and belonging: Roo travels with the grandfather to find Roo’s lost grandfather, who is rumoured to be living among cowboys. The search gives the adventure a family focus, but the outline does not establish how the story views separation or belonging.
- Worth knowing
- The search centres on a missing, rumoured-to-be-found grandfather. The story’s treatment of separation, uncertainty and reunion is not clear from the outline.
