SuitabookOn Earth
J. C. Greenburg
- Reading
- If the tiger threat or grossness may unsettle your reader, preview the premise, pause after suspenseful moments, and use the factual pages to discuss what is imaginative and what is scientific.
- Themes
- Adventure and rescue: Andrew, Judy and Thudd must repair their time machine and rescue Uncle Al while trapped inside the forming Earth. The book?s stance on this remains unclear.
- Science alongside humour: The adventure takes place during the formation of Earth and the Ice Age, with additional pages of interesting facts at the end. The book appears to use factual material to explain scientific topics within an entertaining story; the accuracy and depth of those explanations cannot be judged here.
- Worth knowing
- The main points to notice are peril and suspense, especially the threat of becoming a tiger’s dinner, alongside the series’ described “gooey grossness” and “gross and disgusting” qualities. The specific content in this book remains unclear.
