Jenny Nimmo, John Keating
- Reading
- You could read together in short stretches and pause when the journey shifts from escape to rescue. Invite your reader to predict what Timoken might need next, without requiring them to guess the ending.
- Themes
- Escape and quest: After betrayal and an attack, Timoken flees and sets out to find and rescue friends while seeking a kingdom of his own. The plot is structured around a flight from danger that becomes a quest; the stated aims are rescue and establishing a lasting home.
- Worth knowing
- Betrayal, an attack, imprisonment and trouble affecting villages are part of the conflict. Timoken also leaves his sister behind when he flees; consider whether this separation may prompt questions or feelings for your reader.
