The curse of the maze
Lorraine Hellier
- Reading
- Try reading the opening together, then let the child continue independently or take turns. Check in when the maze and Guardian appear, as these bring the adventure’s danger into focus.
- Themes
- A shared rescue mission: Four children form the Amazateers and each has a part to play in breaking the curse and saving the island’s children. The mission is structured around the four children contributing to a common goal.
- Worth knowing
- The threat to the island’s children, the maze, a beast and a hedge that blocks the sun bring danger and suspense into the adventure.
