SuitabookThe Sea Challenge
Bear Grylls
- Reading
- Read together if the survival scenes prompt questions; pause at the named hazards to check how your reader is finding the tension, then return to the litter question afterwards.
- Themes
- Litter and wildlife: Chloe initially questions why litter matters; on the island she sees non-degradable rubbish washed up and damage to wildlife. The story presents litter as consequential and asks whether seeing its effects will change Chloe's attitude.
- Survival and danger: Chloe faces a shipwreck escape, raging surf, finding fresh water, quicksand and sea urchins on a tropical island. The hazards create a survival-adventure situation, but how the danger is portrayed is unclear.
- Worth knowing
- The island adventure includes a shipwreck escape through raging surf, quicksand and sea urchins. These perilous situations may be worth noting if survival danger is a concern for your reader.
