SuitabookThe ghost of rabbits past
John R. Erickson
- Reading
- Consider reading alongside the child if animal danger may feel intense. Pause after the abduction to ask what Hank could try, then discuss whether the ending makes the characters’ choices feel brave, careful or both.
- Themes
- Responsibility under pressure: Hank must respond after Drover is taken and may need to secure help or act alone within a one-day deadline. The book?s stance on this remains unclear.
- Worth knowing
- The story includes a frightening invasion, kidnapping and a stated threat that Drover could be eaten. These dangers appear to drive the adventure, but the intensity and detail of their portrayal are unclear.
