Reading is one of the life-long skills which I have acquired since I was a primary student. Until now I am still benefiting from it, so what are you waiting for? Get a book from us! Which book? Any book which triggers your curiosity. The reason I started reading this book is because I want to know what the title “In translation” means. As the story unfolds, one learns about a story of love, hardship, will power and triumphs of an eleven year old girl who survives two cultures. Happy reading!

In times of certainty, my favourite genre is indeed murder mystery! Oh Weirdo! Why would anyone read a suspense story when it is already so stressful?! The Hound of the Baskerville is a story I read when I was a kid. Even now,  I am still fascinated and impressed by the mastermind of Sherlock Holmes. His wit and calmness is timeless, his superpower is his penetrating understanding of humanity. Each of his crime stories is full of twists and turn-ups, which I keep reading and reading until the end. I can assure you that each ending is a surprise. Do you have any books which give you fond memories? Revisit them and check it out from us!

The only time they see each other is when the boy and his father (that work as an egyptologues) goes museum and they are always late at Sadie's house - which is the sister. It was a normal day in england and they were, as always late. The only difference is that weird guy in front of the door. Carter (the boy) had been told to go in while the dad talks with this stranger. As always Sadie wasn't to friendly with Carter, well at least in my opinion. So this adventure starts in the museum were they had put the true rosetta stone. The kids discover that their father isn't really what they thought he were, neither their mum that died trying to protect the world against a danger that isn't dead. Each character in this book has a special thing but I don't want to give out too much things. I think anyone that like books like harry potter or with some sort magic will even more like than other. The only reason why you might not like it is if you can't read!
