SuitabookAnton taucht ab
Milena Baisch
- Reading
- Try the opening together, then pause to ask what Anton might want from his holiday. Continue if his reaction and the new friendship hold the reader’s interest.
- Themes
- Belonging and friendship: Anton is bored while other holidaymakers enjoy the lake, then meets an unexpected friend. The setup makes a contrast between Anton and the other holidaymakers, followed by a friendship; how the story evaluates either is not established.
- Worth knowing
- The lake is described in strongly unpleasant terms, including as murky and slimy; a child who dislikes murky-water imagery may want to know how prominently it recurs.
