I like this book very much, because I just came to Bali and like the protagonist, my English is not very good, I can understand his feelings very well. There are some illustrations in this book that can help to understand the story, and the content of the story in this book is also very touching, especially when the protagonist feels that he can't speak English, like he feels like a monster, an alien. I recommend this book, the English difficulty is not very high, I like it very much. (Esther, Grade 7)

The Book "Pie in the sky" by Remy Lai is a funny, easy to read book. When Jingwen, his younger brother Yanghao and his mother move to Australia, Jingwen feels like he has landed on Mars. For starters, he has no clue how to speak English, which will be a challenge, and secondly, he also has to make friends. In order to disconnect from all the stress, Jingwen soon starts to cook cakes with his brother even though his mother told him not to hundreds of times. Eventually, they manage to make friends though cake. This was an easy book to read especially because there are comics in it. I would recommend this book to people who enjoy cooking and who like short, easy comic books. This book is suitable for ages 6 to 13. (Nina, Grade 7)
