我對 The Giver by Lois Lowry 好有興趣啊, 我看過內容簡介, 關於擔承什麼人生抉擇痛苦記憶, 似乎是一個大題目. 我囡 9 歲幾, 其實仲好 bb, 諗野好直線, 對情情愛愛都未有咩感覺, 哀樂人生呢個大課題我驚佢更加唔知係乜冬冬, 你認為 The Giver 會適合小朋友睇嗎?
(The following is the discussion about Black Cat that I posted previously.) You may go to the MxxxLxxx to order the whole set of books (level 1-6, total 44 books), as they offer 25% off for any purchases over $300. Or you may buy few books from Tecbook (They will offer 20% off for member or any purchases over $200.)
I'll suggest you to take a look at the Black Cat Reader series. Have you heard about this set of books? You may find this set of book in all Popular / Commercial Press.

This set of book is published by Commercial Press which costs about $4X-5X for each of the book in HK version.
