Dogfight
Craig Simpson
- Reading
- Try reading together at first, then pause when the boys move from planning to action. Check whether the wartime danger feels manageable, and let the reader choose whether to continue or take a break.
- Themes
- Courage and risk: The book addresses courage and risk; the detail of how it is developed remains unclear. The premise foregrounds the boys’ willingness to act, but does not show whether the story treats their choices as wise, reckless or something more complicated.
- Worth knowing
- War, invasion and the prospect of risking lives are part of the premise.
