The Little While Horse

Harry Potter Series by J.K. Rowling

Chronicles of Narnia by C.S. Lewis

I Capture The Castle by Dodie Smith

Statement:

I think this book is very interesting because even though there is a ‘good’ and ‘bad’ side that the problems between the two sides end up being solved diplomatically. I feel that most every fantasy novel involves a power struggle between good and evil and is resolved by a war, not diplomatic measures.

Question:

What do you think the effect of the blunt gender stereotypes and religious content is on adolescent readers? Especially when many of you see this book being read by the younger side of the spectrum, who may have less of a sophisticated way of processing the content.
