SuitabookThe hidden treasure of Glaston
Eleanore Myers Jewett
- Reading
- Pause after the group encounters danger or a mystery and invite the reader to distinguish what the characters know from what they believe. This can support discussion without settling the legends for them.
- Themes
- Disability and belonging: Hugh has had a crippled leg since birth and is placed in the monks’ care while his father is in exile. The book’s stance on this remains unclear.
- Legend, faith and historical mystery: Hugh and his friends investigate relics and a broken book connected with the Holy Grail, Joseph of Arimathea and King Arthur. The book’s stance on this remains unclear.
- Worth knowing
- The adventures include the Abbey burning and Hugh becoming very ill after exposure and exhaustion. These events could prompt questions about danger and recovery; their detail and emotional intensity are unclear.
