Flight
Jason Lethcoe
- Reading
- As the second series book, it may help to read the earlier instalment first if you want the wider context; this story’s stated focus is Edward’s emerging purpose and Guardian powers.
- Themes
- Learning to use Guardian powers: Edward has a new purpose as a Guardian and needs to master his powers to attempt the rescue. The plot makes learning his abilities part of the practical challenge of the mission; this describes the story structure, not a broader message about responsibility.
- Worth knowing
- The peril centres on the threatened loss of Edward’s mother and friends’ souls, alongside a confrontation with a force described as evil. Consider how your child responds to fantasy danger and threatened loss.
