      Hi Joy, the difference with YS is that YS is more comic like (lots of comic with less text) while HSM is more book-like (much more text although quite a lot of comics). I’m guessing there is less substance in YS, especially at the P1/P2 levels.


      I first saw them at Kino, so you may want to head over there to try a copy or so.

      Have fun!

        Wow... the Horrible Science magazine looks great! I will be contacting Allscript to see how we can get a set for the Auctions next week.

          Go Go Go, all you ksparents with enough points! Really worth it!

          Which reminds me, I better study how to get me some points so maybe I can participate in the not too distant future. πŸ˜„

            Way to go CKS !! I called Allscript, 60 issues at 20% discount, they quoted me S$285.60 :!: inclusive of delivery ! I want to buy the 39 Clues, Dead Famous...gosh...what else ? 😞 I think I'll wait for Kino members promotion and grab a few copies of the HS magazines.

                For those more price conscious parents who doesn’t mind good condition 2nd hand HS magazines, can buy in bulk from some UK sellers in eBay. Check mailing cost. I bought and sent over to Sgp >55 issues HS magazines cost about S$160. Definitely worthwhile to explore

                  A little bird whispered in my ear that the 20% discount for the full set is over... it was just a promotional price.

                    Thanks for info.


                    I bought a few copies from Kino. The "customer" prefer the HS paperbacks so I am dropping the HS magazines set.

                      called Allscript last week, and indeed they no longer has the 20% off promotion. As I was ordering the complete set, they did give me 15% discount. Can’t wait to receive the magazine.
