- Reading
- Read together if useful, pausing when the family revelations arise. Invite the reader to share what they think the siblings might need, without pressing them to relate it to their own family.
- Themes
- Biological parentage and family bonds: The siblings learn that the parents they have known are not their biological parents. The revelations place family identity and relationships at the centre of the story.
- Sibling rivalry and loyalty: Titus is described as having a normal life of sibling rivalry before past events threaten to change it; loyalty and friendship are also named. The story brings sibling tensions and supportive ties into the same family situation.
- Worth knowing
- Family revelations, sibling rivalry, jealousy and fear are part of the story. How intensely these are depicted, and how the challenges resolve, remains unclear.
