SuitabookToby alone
Timothée de Fombelle
- Reading
- You could talk together about what Toby might owe his parents while he is separated from them, without assuming what choice he will make.
- Themes
- Exploitation and the natural world: Developers may exploit the father’s discovery about the living Tree, risking permanent damage to the natural world. The developers are presented as greedy, and their potential actions as damaging, giving this conflict a critical environmental framing.
- Worth knowing
- The family faces exile, Toby’s parents are in terrible danger, and pursuit adds suspense.
