Prince of Underwhere
Bruce Hale
- Reading
- Try reading a chapter together, then let the reader choose whether to continue independently. If the illustrations are hard to see on a small screen, use a larger display or a print copy.
- Themes
- Comic fantasy and everyday troubles: A talking cat draws Zeke from problems at home and school into an outlandish underground world. The premise juxtaposes recognisable difficulties with comic, fantastical characters, positioning the book as humorous fantasy.
- Worth knowing
- Family separation is part of the set-up: Zeke’s parents are missing, and his cousin is staying in their home. A school bully and unkind family interactions also feature.
