The Hampton summit
Mike Dunbar
- Reading
- If the murder threat feels intense, pause to talk through what is happening; you could also discuss how the teens decide what risks to take.
- Themes
- Changing the past: Renegades plan to kill a scientist before he shares a discovery, hoping to reshape the past and dominate the world they create. The conflict centres on the stakes of altering history and who might control the resulting future.
- Disability and the murder plot: The scientist targeted by the renegades uses a wheelchair. His disability is specified in connection with the threat against him; the broader characterisation is unclear.
- Worth knowing
- The overview signals a life-threatening conflict, but does not indicate how its dangerous scenes are depicted.
