It all started with chosen tenants in an apartment building, and one mistake. If you are a middle school reader like me, this may be one of your first mystery novel of its kind. She then deftly unravels it again in a surprising (but fair) and highly satisfying ending.

With her own special blend of intricacy, humor, and upside-down perceptions, Ellen Raskin has entangled a remarkable cast of characters in a puzzle-knotted, word-twisting plot.

Modes of narrativity applied in the Short history by Nikephoros of Constantinople are investigated on the basis of several key accounts which form a specific message of the author on the level of his entire work. ![]() 5/29/2023 0 Comments The summer before the war book![]() ![]() In the second part of the book, war breaks out.
