- Reading
- Before reading, acknowledge that animals are abused and that fighting and an attack occur. Afterwards, discuss Sophie’s choices, the sanctuary’s needs and whether the ending feels hopeful or unresolved.
- Themes
- Responsibility towards vulnerable animals: Sophie rescues an abused baby bonobo and becomes more involved in her mother’s sanctuary. The book?s stance on this remains unclear.
- Crisis and survival: Fighting breaks out, the sanctuary is attacked, and Sophie must try to rescue the apes while surviving in the jungle. The book?s stance on this remains unclear.
- Worth knowing
- The fighting, sanctuary attack, abused bonobo and implied survival danger may merit attention. The extent and intensity of injury, threat and distress are not established.
