    About this ebook

    The study guide for the young adult novel Operation Red has a summary of the novel, an extract, and advice on reading level. It looks at character, setting and language, and it explains the references to The Tempest via the character of Ariel. The guide will help readers appreciate the multitude of technological puns, and the novel’s scientific references. It looks at the ‘what if?’ moment that inspires sci fi writers, and differences between science fiction and fantasy narratives. The guide has plenty of engaging and creative ideas for students, including essay and short writing topics, research ideas, language analysis, and visual and kinaesthetic activities.

    I've been a high school teacher and editor (and bus driver, strawberry picker, insurance clerk, courier driver, shop assistant, etc.), and in the year of Covid-19 I'm a student again, doing a Grad Dip of Creative Writing in Wellington NZ, and writing a YA novel for that course.
