Frenzy
Robert Lettrick
- Reading
- Try reading together or checking in after the animal attacks and deaths, especially if suspenseful peril is difficult for your reader. The story also includes quieter pauses for characters to reveal more about themselves.
- Themes
- Animal attacks and survival: Animals attack the campers, who attempt to escape and weigh how to survive. The attacks provide the external danger; the author describes keeping their violence brief rather than graphically lingering on it.
- Action and character revelations: The story alternates action scenes with quieter moments in which characters reveal things about themselves and form friendships. The book presents this mainly as information or explanation.
- Worth knowing
- Animal attacks, human deaths and bullying are part of the danger. The author says the attacks avoid graphic lingering detail, but the threat and deaths may still feel unsettling.
