When I think about my childhood I can easily recall plenty of books my parents used to read to me and the ones that I read myself. However, one particular book pops into my head: " Ten Obcy" ( 'That alien' in English ) which I read in my primary school. Without any trouble I can recall the whole plot of the book as I read it several times and absolutely loved it! The book is written by Irena Jurgielewiczowa and describes a group of teens who face problems connected with growing up. The action of the book takes place in a small village- Olsztyn during summer holidays.
The main characters: Ula, Pestka, Julek and Marian are best friends who create their own meeting place on an island near their homes. They do a hut and set poles to access it easily as they meet there regularly. One day a mesterious boy appears on the island...It turns out that the boy is injured and the group of friends takes care of him. The whole book is full of action, secrets, and problems that characters have to face. Not only does it fascinate but it also stretches imagination. I absolutely recommend the book to those of you who haven't read it yet!
