- Reading
- If reading this as part of the trilogy, consider discussing what a new reader needs to know about Ken and his horses. The book is identified as the final instalment, but the amount of prior-series knowledge it assumes is unclear.
- Themes
- Ken’s bond with his horses: Ken’s search for Thunderhead and Crown Jewel tests his loyalty and affection for his horses. The story puts Ken’s attachment to his horses under strain, but the overview does not show how it evaluates his choices.
- Ken and Carey: Ken and Carey spend time together because their horses’ fates are connected; Ken develops romantic feelings for her. Romantic interest is part of the plot, but its treatment and importance beyond the overview are unclear.
- Worth knowing
- The plot involves a stallion taking mares from ranchers, including a valuable filly. If your child is especially concerned about animals being separated or put at risk, this conflict may be worth discussing as you read.
