Travels with Gannon & Wyatt
Patti Wheeler
- Reading
- You could read together and pause when the rescue mission begins, checking what the characters know and what choices they face. This offers a natural point to discuss the shift in priorities.
- Themes
- Exploration, climate and culture: The brothers set out to study climate change and Greenlandic culture during an Arctic dogsled expedition. These subjects form part of the expedition’s stated purpose, but the book’s treatment of them is not established.
- Rescue and risk: A family’s mayday call redirects the expedition towards a mission to save lives. The premise places helping others alongside danger, but it does not establish how the choices or risks are portrayed.
- Worth knowing
- The premise includes a desperate mayday call, people stranded in the far north and a mission described as dangerous. The extent or detail of peril is not clear.
