SuitabookThe Snow jewel
Paula Harrison
- Reading
- Before reading, notice the snowy setting and predict what might happen when the kitten goes missing. Afterwards, revisit the secret-sharing decision and compare different ways the characters could respond.
- Themes
- Helping and teamwork: The Rescue Princesses act together to search for Freya’s missing kitten. The book?s stance on this remains unclear.
- Trust and secrets: The princesses consider letting Freya in on their secret while becoming friends with her. The book presents a decision about disclosure, but it is not clear whether sharing the secret is treated as right, necessary or risky.
- Friendship with Freya: The princesses meet and make friends with Princess Freya during their visit to Northernland. Friendship is clearly part of the situation, but the limited information does not establish how differences or belonging are explored.
- Worth knowing
- The kitten’s disappearance may invite conversation about responsibility and helping others. The secret may also open discussion about trust, privacy and when sharing information can support a friendship.
