I bought this book for Tom last year when he was doing VCE. The way he was studying I thought he could do with some alternative income producing strategies. Turns out I needn’t have worried. He left the book behind when he left for Airlie Beach. I started reading it when I was on long service leave, I […]

I tried to read this book years ago, but it made me angry. I decided to revisit it when people around me kept referring to it. I heard the title about five times in a week and felt it was a sign. I got it from the library during my long service leave. I’m not […]

I read ‘Emil and Karl’ in a day. I forgot to bring a book to one of my reading classes in the library and picked it up and couldn’t put it down… all day! When I checked it out the librarian said she’d found it captivating also and had read it in a day. In […]
