SuitabookTianna the Terrible
Karen Rispin
- Reading
- Try reading the opening together, then pause to ask what feels unfamiliar or worrying to Anika.
- Themes
- Faith as guidance: Anika is described as using faith and trust in God’s words as guidance through adolescent problems and adventures. Faith is central to the stated premise, but its treatment in particular choices or events is not clear.
- Adjustment and an unkind helper: Anika is adjusting to a new situation, and the person described as meant to help her adjust is characterised as mean. The premise sets up interpersonal difficulty, but does not establish how the relationship develops or is resolved.
- Worth knowing
- The premise describes Anika’s situation as frightening and the adventures as sometimes dangerous. If your reader is sensitive to suspense, you may want to check how these moments are handled together before reading further.
