Three big themes run through Jennifer Brown and the Dagger: fairies, dyslexia, and the great outdoors. Together they shape Jennifer’s journey – from a girl who loves fairies but struggles to read, to one who must find her way through the forests, rivers and caves of Fairyland.
- Fairies – the mythical creatures that have kept us spellbound for generations, and why Jennifer is so fascinated by them.
- Dyslexia – how Jennifer’s difficulty with reading and writing is at the heart of the story.
- The Great Outdoors – the wonders and dangers of nature, in our world and in Fairyland.
You can read more about where these themes came from in the author’s articles On Dyslexia and Fairy Inspirations.
