Hi, Ardith Hinton!

BTW, it was a book by Kaplan International, for learners. ;) The main 
feature of the novel it contains an abundance of new words. It is a 
method of teaching. A book from Kaplan is small and contains a very 
intrigue story. A pupil must gather all his industry to read it to the 
end. ;-)

Bye, Ardith!
