Land of Loss
Katherine Applegate
- Reading
- Try the opening together or check in after early perilous scenes; then let the reader continue independently if the tone feels manageable. The ending and resolution are not clear here.
- Themes
- A search for a way home: David, Jalil, April and Christopher are trapped in Everworld and seek a permanent way back. The book’s stance on this remains unclear.
- Senna's disappearance: Senna is missing, and the others do not know whether she is in Everworld or alive. The uncertainty gives the group a personal concern alongside the larger adventure; how the book handles it is not clear.
- Worth knowing
- Violence and cruelty are noted, alongside a world described as frightening and often deadly. The nature and extent of these scenes are unclear, so consider checking in with a reader who finds peril intense.
