The Book Of Three
Lloyd Alexander
- Reading
- Read together or pause after tense passages to talk about Taran’s choices and hopes. The ending and the detail of peril are unclear, so let the reader’s reactions guide any further discussion.
- Themes
- Heroism and responsibility: Taran dreams of more heroic pursuits, but a hazardous mission challenges him to look beyond those dreams. The book’s stance on this remains unclear.
- Worth knowing
- The mission is described as hazardous, with evil forces and a dreaded opponent. If peril or fantasy conflict is a concern, consider checking in about how those scenes feel while reading.
