SuitabookTwo Princesses Of Bamarre
Gail Carson Levine
- Reading
- Try reading a little together at first, then check in after encounters with danger or illness. Let the reader choose whether to pause, continue or talk about what stood out.
- Themes
- Courage and self-confidence: Addie is described as fearful and shy, but sets out on a dangerous quest. The premise places a fearful character in situations calling for action; how the story ultimately defines courage is unclear.
- Sisterhood and care: Addie sets out to find help for Meryl, and the sisters are described as meaning the world to each other. Their bond motivates the quest, but the wider effects of the journey on their relationship are not described.
- Illness and threatened lives: The Grey death threatens the kingdom, and Addie seeks a cure while time is running out. Illness provides urgent stakes for the fantasy adventure; the portrayal of its effects and resolution is unclear.
- Worth knowing
- Illness that weakens and threatens lives, perilous travel and encounters with fantasy monsters are part of the premise. These elements may matter to readers sensitive to danger or illness.
