Part 2
The young people below all want to find a book to read. Below there are descriptions of eight books. Decide which book would be the most suitable for each person.
A Pirate Kingdom
An exciting adventure about a group of young pirates searching for hidden treasure in the Caribbean. The characters are invented, but the author did a lot of research, so the ships and the sea battles feel very real.
B The Universe in Ten Easy Steps
If science at school leaves you confused, this is the book for you. With no maths at all, it explains black holes, planets and stars using everyday examples and clear drawings.
C The Clock Tower Secret
London, 1925. When a famous watchmaker disappears, his twelve-year-old apprentice must find out what happened. A clever, fast-moving mystery that most readers finish in one or two sittings – it's only 150 pages.
D Advanced Physics for Curious Minds
Written by a university professor, this book goes deep into the latest ideas about space and time. Best for readers who already have a strong background in maths and science.
E Summer in Lisbon
When Ana spends a summer working in a café in Portugal, she meets Tomás, and her life changes forever. A long, beautiful love story, full of sunshine, music and the streets of an old city.
F Dark Water
A detective investigates a series of strange events in a modern seaside town. With 600 pages of twists, this is a mystery for readers who like to take their time.
G Max and the Monster Burger
Max accidentally creates a burger that grows bigger every time someone laughs. Short chapters, a funny picture on every page and plenty of jokes make this perfect for younger readers who don't usually enjoy books.
H Into the Storm
The true story of Carla Moss, who at nineteen became one of the youngest people to sail alone across the Atlantic. Using her own diaries, the book describes the storms, the loneliness and the courage that got her home.
