Jamie sees that Skandar is extraordinary when he says, about the Island: “‘I’m talking about it being rotten at its core . . . stopping that—it’s on you, Skandar. I’m sorry, but it is.’” (p. 351) Bobby tells Skandar, “‘You always end up saving the day . . . because you actually give a damn about doing the right thing.’” (p. 298) What do you think are Skandar’s main motivations for wanting to do the right thing? Do you think it’s fair that most of the kids don’t trust Skandar because he’s a spirit wielder? Why is it that Skandar’s friends do trust him? What do you think of the Peregrine Society members, and how do you think they feel about Skandar? Using textual evidence from the novel, describe why you think Skandar is or isn’t a trustworthy character. Who does Skandar trust? There was no wasted moments amd you get to learn so much about the world. The characters keep growing and developing, the villans over all plan still very much shrouded in shadow. Now that they are in their second year at the Eyrie, Skandar and his friends get to visit some of the elemental zones on the Island. Which zone do you think would be most interesting to visit? What do you think of the Island setting? What aspects of the Island make it feel like a real place, and what makes it feel more magical or legendary? The Grins make Skandar feel confident and self-assured because he feels like he fits in, like kids who belong to a team or club. What kind of groups, clubs, or teams help you feel like you belong? How can being with people you feel connected to make you feel more confident? And how can being with people who are not like you feel dangerous?

Meanwhile, Skandar’s sister, Kenna, longs to join him – and Skandar is determined to help her, no matter what. As the storm gathers, can Skandar discover how to stop the Island tearing itself apart – before it’s too late for them all?If you read the first book, Skandar and the Unicorn Thief, how do you feel this sequel compares to that? Had you predicted any of the events that happened to Skandar and his friends in this second book? Is there evidence in this book to suggest there might be a third Skandar novel coming? Support your theory and predict what might happen in the next installment. The tour ended down by the Hatchling stables, Skandar, Bobby, Mitchell and Flo discussed what to do the next day when Skandar crossed the Fault Lines because since he was a Spirit Wielder all the lines would ignite, they had to cause a distraction. This book was fantastic and I could not put it down! I loved the concept of (similar to Harry Potter) a whole exciting, different world which exists i... Skandar was very slow to trust his Aunt Agatha Everhart as he initially knew little about her and then later found out she was the Executioner but he slowly got to trust her after she revealed much of her shared past with her sister Erika and how it is similar to his own with Kenna. This was complicated when Agatha was brought on to be Skandar’s Spirit instructor. The Skandar Wiki is dedicated to A.F. Steadman's fantasy series which contains Skandar and the Unicorn Thief and Skandar and the Phantom Rider.

A. F. Steadman has created a stunning new world that feels both familiar and fresh, with a cast of characters that will stay with you long after you’ve finished reading.’ –Tọlá Okogwu, author of Onyeka and the Academy of the Sun The First Rider tells Skandar: “The one you love the most will betray you.” (p. 349) Who do you think he means, and why? Why does it hurt more when the betrayer is someone you love?Never have unicorns been so ferocious, fearsome and thrilling! A fantastically gripping read!’ – Laura Ellen Anderson, author of Amelia Fang and Rainbow Grey It was as though someone had taken a brush and painted a white stripe from the inside of Skandar's wrist to his wrist. But the weirdest thing was that the the white was translucent. He could see the tendons and bones of his arm through the skin.'' Why do you think the author chose to include intermittent chapters from Kenna’s point of view? On the Mainland, the two siblings were close—but when Kenna sees Skandar and his unicorn, Scoundrel, together, she observes that they share “a bond that went deeper than brother and sister.” (p. 4) Talk about how Skandar’s choices throughout the story support this idea. If his actions are motivated by wanting to fix things for Kenna, why doesn’t he tell her the full story?
