Angel and Bavar
Amy Wilson
- Reading
- Consider reading together if bereavement or nightmares may be difficult topics; pause to check how the fantasy danger is landing, and let the reader choose whether to continue.
- Themes
- Friendship and mutual support: Angel is initially uninterested in new friends; she and Bavar eventually work together and are described as needing courage to stand up for each other and themselves. Their cooperation is presented as central to facing the challenge, giving friendship and mutual support a positive framing.
- Worth knowing
- A parent may want to note that the story links the death of Angel’s parents to frightening monsters; nightmares and danger are also part of the premise.
