Hammering Iron

In ancient Greece, something happened which changed the world. Two brothers Niko and Paramon, one destined to serve the lord and the other to serve a merchant, are forced apart. One must stay and the other must follow the lord wherever he goes. Paramon is thrown back on his own resources, but will do whatever he can to make his own way.

I rate this book 4½/5 stars.

I recommend this book to anybody who like books that in setting in ancient rome and kids aged around 9-14.

The Arrival

The Arrival
By Shaun Tan
The Arrival is a wordless picture book which is on a family who are migrants. The husband leaves his wife and children in a poor town, with nothing, seeking a new life in a bigger and more wealthy country. He then finds himself in a confusing city of foreign customs. 

I rate this book a 4 / 5 stars.

I recommend this book to anybody who like reading books by their pictures and that like an easy book to read.

I liked this book because you had to solve what the pictures were saying.
