SuitabookTomorrow, The River
Dianne E. Gray
- Reading
- Try reading a few chapters together, then let Megan’s choices guide the pace. Pause if the river dangers feel tense, and talk through what she notices before acting.
- Themes
- Independence and family rules: Megan boards the train with her mother’s dos and don’ts in mind, and the story describes her leaving a trail of discarded rules. The plot sets rules alongside a young person’s independent journey, but does not establish how the story weighs particular rules or disobedience.
- Judgement amid uncertainty: The plot account says that seeing beneath the surface can make a difference, but does not explain what Megan notices. The book presents this favourably.
- Worth knowing
- Pay particular attention to fear and suspense.
