SuitabookHunden som sprang mot en stjärna
Henning Mankell
- Reading
- Read together if useful, pausing after Joel’s nighttime adventures to discuss what he knows, what he is keeping secret and whether his choices seem wise in the moment.
- Themes
- A parent’s new relationship: Joel lives with his father, who develops a new romantic interest; Joel must come to terms with it. The book’s stance on this remains unclear.
- Secrecy and nighttime adventures: Joel sneaks out at night to look for a dog and starts a secret society on a bridge over an icy river. The book’s stance on this remains unclear.
- Worth knowing
- Joel goes out at night and spends time near an icy river. These scenes could invite conversation about secrecy, risk and how the story presents his choices.
