- Reading
- Preview the book together first, pausing to name unfamiliar words, notice how the story is presented, and decide whether its tone and themes invite further discussion.
- Themes
- The meaning of home: The title foregrounds the idea of home, but the book’s characters, circumstances and treatment of that idea are not described. The title may invite reflection on what home means, but it does not establish a particular message or viewpoint.
- Worth knowing
- Before choosing it, check the book itself or a fuller account for its central situation, tone, family or social themes, difficult experiences, illustrations, ending and language demands.
