- Reading
- If animal peril might unsettle your reader, consider checking in during the search and talking afterwards about what the characters can do to protect the colt.
- Themes
- Belonging in a rugged place: Liv and Sophie want to prove they belong in the wild, rugged land where the search takes place. Belonging is a stated aim for the sisters, but the story’s evaluation of that aim is not established.
- Care for an animal in danger: The searchers try to find a missing colt before predators or desert heat endanger him. The premise places concern for the colt at the centre of the search; it does not establish the eventual outcome.
- Worth knowing
- The colt is at risk from predators and severe desert heat, so the search carries danger and suspense. The extent of any harm, and how frightening it becomes, are unclear.
