SuitabookJeremy owl
Toni De Palma
- Reading
- If bullying or discouragement may be sensitive, read the opening together and pause to discuss what help looks like. Later, ask what the glittering bone changes in Jeremy’s thinking without demanding one interpretation.
- Themes
- Science and magic: Jeremy investigates owl pellets and finds a glittering bone that he cannot explain; later events include a flying pig and enchanted pies. The book?s stance on this remains unclear.
- Bullying and support: Two bullies take Jeremy’s owl pellets, and Lorelei steps in to win them back. The situation includes social conflict and assistance from a peer, but the broader consequences and moral framing are not clear.
- Unusualness and perception: Lorelei is called the school cuckoo and initially seems dopey to Jeremy, before helping recover the pellets. The book?s stance on this remains unclear.
- Worth knowing
- The bullying and Jeremy’s loss of hope deserve attention, alongside the story’s contrast between scientific limits and magic. The severity, repetition and resolution of these elements are not clear.
