- Reading
- Read it as three connected adventures, pausing after each mishap to ask what Ella knows, intended and could do next. After finishing, compare the friends’ different ways of offering support.
- Themes
- Friendship and encouragement: Ella encourages Poppy when flying is difficult, and the friends try to support homesick Jess. Supportive friendship is presented positively in the available scenes and premises.
- Responsibility after mistakes: Ella is described as impulsive; an over-packed glitter surprise destroys a school statue, and she must take responsibility for an injured magical bunny. The book?s stance on this remains unclear.
- Social conflict and provocation: Primrose calls Ella a troublemaker and attempts to provoke her; Tilly advises Ella not to react. The scene presents antagonistic peer behaviour and a suggestion to avoid escalation, but its wider treatment is unclear.
- Worth knowing
- Be ready to discuss how helping someone can still have unintended effects, and how a person responds after causing damage or encountering a creature needing care. The book’s treatment of these issues is not fully clear.
