HI TAS


DD had read the book 'Blood Ties by Sophie Mckenzie' that recommended by your earlier on. We also get a 'Girl missing' written by the same person when we pass by the bookstore. Now she is reading 'Survival' that bought from TAS and she comments it is very exciting.

Thank you and looking forward to hear more goods books. :lol:

Hi Brenda10,

No problem at all :lol: Really glad to hear that you daughter
likes the books. We will definitely be introducing more good
books here

Hi TAS,


Can recommend books for my P6 girl to read, she is bored, bored, bored and drives me up the wall with her bored looks and her sighs..

Anyway, you or the teachers at TAS seem to know so many books! How I wish you can provide a service at the libary or bookstore, When we go in, we can go to people like you and ask for help and you guys can rattle off all the interesting books to our kids and also get them interested to read. I know this is unrealistic but seriously if the libraries or bookstores have sales people like you to attend to the customers, I am sure the books will sell like hotcakes. Haha, I think I am too free now and so I am thinking of all these off the wall scenarios

Hi TAS, will send email shortly.

And thanks to you, I got started on 'A face on the milk carton' - and couldn't stop until I finished the book. Can't wait to get my hands on the subsequent titles in the series.

It's really an excellent read on the dilemmas confronting a child on the brink of teenagehood when she finds out she was kidnapped (although I find the kidnapping part a bit convenient but I'll reserve my judgement until I see book 2).

For this series, 'A Face on the Milk Carton', it is very interesting,
although like you say, the kidnapping is a bit convenient, the other
books in the series are also good but honestly, I find the best one
is the first book.

Hi TAS,

Postscript of sorts. I went to the library and borrowed all the other books in that \"face on the milk carton\" series. Had to zoom through all of them in practically one sitting. It's really an excellent read and the story just gripped me by the tenseness of the situations. I like the way the author moves in/out of scenes. I was fairly surprised by the ending in \"What Janie Found\" (4th book). There seems to be some parts lacking/unexplored, leaving me with a 'not quite enough' taste, but overall, I do agree. This is a good series and a wonderful read.

Definitely a series worth picking up - but more for teens/upper primary kids.

Already eyeing Blood Ties as recommended. But I think I should also have to finish my other unread books.

Hi hquek,

You managed to finish reading all the books at one go? Wow!
Did you manage to borrow all the titles from one branch? It is
quite hard to find all the titles in this series nowadays
as the books were written some time ago.

Blood Ties is another series that is good! Enjoy the reading :celebrate:

Thanks, TAS for all the sharing! I exposed my child, who is a P3 avid reader to a variaty of books from the list you have recommended and she is hooked to some, such as Charlie Bone series.


Are you aware of the star reading program? She scores 5.8, and I suppose she should be reading mid-higher primary books.

Hi IJJ,

No problem We will recommend more books from time to time.

I have heard of the Star Readers programme. Is that the same one?

If your P3 child can read Charlie Bone books, then she will have
no problem reading most books meant for upper primary students.
