I have just finished reading Refugee Boy by Benjamin Zephaniah,
the book was really engaging and fun to read!
Hi Jada! Thank you for your recommendation! I have never read anything by that author but I’ve heard that he writes great books!

The book is so amazing that I want to read more of it and it is so interesting.
This is my prediction:?
I think that Chaya is going to rescue Neel.

Good afternoon,
I am really enjoying the book so far and I can’t wait to read more!
That’s great to hear Sergio!
Hello Miss Gorick,
My prediction is that Chaya will rescue Neel and perhaps Nour will be a distraction for the guards. I think then they will all escape with an elephant. Maybe Nour will be in a lot of trouble.
Interesting prediction Antonia! I agree that surely Nour will get into trouble…we will see!
I am loving the book so far it is very exciting and I am so happy that Nour is going work with Chaya!!
I’m so glad that you’re enjoying the book!
I am enjoying the book; it has a lot of plot twists so you never really know whats coming!
I’m glad that you think that! I love books with plot twists ?
Hi Maryana 🙂 I have just received your English comprehension work for today. You have structured your answers clearly and shown a great understanding, well done!
My prediction is that Chaya will set Neel free with a lit bit of help from Nour.
I will send a photo of my comprehension to you.
An interesting prediction-we will see! I look forward to receiving your comprehension. Well done Anahi!
Thank you miss ??☺️
