Danger at the Iron Dragon
Leslie McFarlane
- Reading
- Try the opening together, then check in after the disturbing discovery or as the investigation becomes more dangerous. You can pause to discuss which clues seem reliable without guessing the culprit.
- Themes
- Investigating suspected trouble: Nancy investigates whether a rival academy is trying to disrupt the Iron Dragon team before a competition. The rival academy is raised as a possible explanation, not identified as responsible.
- Learning self-defence: After a close call, Mr. Drew says Nancy needs to be able to defend herself; she and her friends attend a Jiu-Jitsu class. The class is part of the story's setup, but the book's broader view of self-defence or martial arts is not clear.
- Worth knowing
- The opening disturbance involves a dead rat and an insult painted on a wall; the investigation is described as increasingly dangerous. The extent of danger or any further harm is unclear.
