Storming back to Key West
Jane F. Collen
- Reading
- Before reading, mention that the adventure moves from exploration to a historic storm. Afterwards, check how your reader felt about the change in tension and whether they want to discuss the setting.
- Themes
- Fairy magic and adventure: Enjella takes Abigail on an adventure with Fairy Alicia and Abigail’s brother, Bennett. Magic is part of the adventure’s premise; the available details do not establish what the story says about it.
- A historic hurricane: The fairies take the group to the 1835 Key West hurricane and draw attention to the lighthouse keeper’s difficult work. The book’s stance on this remains unclear.
- Worth knowing
- The storm is described through high winds and rough seas, and the group’s safety is put in question. This suggests peril and suspense; how intensely these moments are presented is unclear.
