- Reading
- The historical notes may offer a natural point for follow-up.
- Themes
- Family rejection and finding a place to belong: CC is expelled from her home and joins children who live with Grandma Wu; she is described as unable to return to her stepmother. This situation places family rejection alongside the possibility of support beyond the family home.
- Wartime danger and helping others: CC and the other children take part in a mission to rescue American pilots after their plane crashes during the war. The rescue mission connects the children's adventure to the wartime setting, but its treatment of danger and courage is unclear.
- Worth knowing
- Being cast out of home and the wartime rescue mission are significant elements. Consider whether your reader would welcome support discussing family rejection and danger during conflict.
