The illustrations are on the basic side, though, for holding a younger child's attention while being read to. Otherwise, the child would need an adult to sit and read this with them, which the rhyming style would suit. The story is about friendship, helping out people in need, and sticking together.Īmazon rates the book for between 3 years and 8 years however, I feel that the lower age limit would suit 6 or 7 years and upward for this layout of book, which is great for those young readers just being introduced to chapter books. In this quick, sweet kid's read, we meet Ella and her dog Izzy, who share a magical adventure which involves a frog in a wooden boat, a field of dancing flowers, and an ant playing a banjo, amongst other wonders.

This has two effects: it brings us closer to Marlow’s own experience (we learn things as we go along, just as he did at the time), but it also makes us work harder as readers, since we are encouraged to appraise carefully everything we are told. He makes us wait until the point in the narrative when he found out his mistake before he corrects it. He – and we – later find out that it’s not written in code, but Russian. A good example is the moment when Marlow comes upon the abandoned hut in the jungle, and finds a strange book on the ground which contains notes pencilled in the margins which, he tells us, appear to be written in cipher, or code. It’s as if you were there, and as confused and bewildered by it all as the narrator himself was. “It’s a Communist country, and our Singapore passports are stamped ‘No Entry into the People’s Republic of China.’ But one day, hopefully, you will be able to go. “Take a good look, because we aren’t able to go past that border.” That’s where your great-great-grandparents came from,” Philip Young told his son. “Can you see it?

From the bestselling author of Crazy Rich Asians (the basis for the acclaimed major motion picture) comes a deliciously fun story of family, fortune, and fame in Mainland China. His parents took him on a drive far out into the countryside of Kowloon’s New Territories, up a winding mountain road. It was an unseasonably cool evening for early June, and as they strolled along the legendary riverfront boulevard known as the Bund, Nick could still remember a morning in Hong Kong when he was around six years old.

Knopf Doubleday Publishing Group, Fiction - 400 pages. The war is taking place, but is not described graphically. However, Christianity is by no means the primary focus of the book. "Silent Night" is sung at one point, and Christmas plays a role. The characters all profess Christianity and the values portrayed are supported in Scripture. The main focus of the story is how Jancsi, Kate, and their friend Lily grow up in the midst of the first world war, and courage, strength, and kindness are shown. Sometimes Kate doesn't listen to the adults, but she is usually punished. When World War I begins, the family, along with everyone else around them, are devastated and many of their loved ones are lost but they learn to face their struggles bravely. In this action-packed sequel to "The Good Master," set in Hungary, Jancsi and Kate are growing up Jancsi is becoming a "Good Master" himself and Kate is growing out of her tomboyish stage and beginning to care more about her looks than her adventurous side. Wonderful, clean story, though sadder than its prequel.

My MBTI says I’m a feeler so I guess I always can’t help it but trying to perceive something through feels? Nah I don’t know. I mean it as hard to swallow because it’s difficult to associate. It’s not that it’s bad as bad as it creates plot hole, hell no. Since he is a chimera in the weird family of a Dekker, I find his character development is rather hard to swallow.
