The Order of Odd-Fish
James Kennedy
- Reading
- You could notice how the knights’ research into supposedly useless information and their obsolete weapons contribute to the story’s unusual fantasy world.
- Themes
- Jo’s possible destiny: Jo is warned that she is dangerous, then learns she may become Eldritch City’s destroyer rather than its hero. The contrast between the warning and Jo’s possible role as destroyer can prompt conversation about how she understands herself.
- Worth knowing
- A party episode includes a boy in a hedgehog shooting an elderly Russian colonel; later, Jo is told she may destroy the city. Consider whether these perilous elements suit your reader.
