SuitabookThe First Two Lives of Lukas‐Kasha
Lloyd Alexander
- Reading
- If reading together, pause when Lukas’s plans meet opposition and consider what choices are available to him. You could also discuss how the story’s idea of peace relates to its battles.
- Themes
- Responsibility and leadership: Lukas, formerly inclined to avoid work, becomes king and takes on the demands of ruling. The book presents this favourably.
- Peace and political change: Lukas’s campaign seeks to wrest power from a palace strongman and bring peace and autonomy to the people. The book presents this favourably.
- Worth knowing
- The adventure includes battles, a threat to Lukas’s life, political opposition and a girl enslaved in the palace. The extracts do not establish how graphically these events are presented.
