SuitabookThe fallen star
Tracey Hecht
- Reading
- If illness-related peril could be difficult, read together and pause when Tobin becomes sick; discuss what the characters know so far before continuing the mystery.
- Themes
- Finding the cause of the blight: The Nocturnal Brigade investigates poisoned pomelos; Iris blames monsters from the moon, while the heroes suspect a more earthly explanation. The competing explanations set up a mystery, but the outline does not reveal which is correct or how the investigation treats either claim.
- Worth knowing
- The plot includes poisoned fruit, animals falling ill and Tobin becoming sick. These events may matter to readers who are sensitive to illness or threats to animals.
