29 twenty-nine Amy and the many books Amy lives in Dublin, the capital of Ireland. She loves books! Her favourite stories are science fiction stories. The problem is, her room is messy! Books are everywhere – on the shelves, on the floor, on her desk and under the bed. Now there is a new “Moon Detective” book, and she really wants it. But there is no more space in her room. Mum and Dad have an idea: “Do you know e-books?” asks Mum. “You can read all your books on a tablet!” “Yes,” says Dad. “So you will have more space in your room!” “But what about all of my books?” asks Amy. Dad makes a plan: “We can have a book sale in front of the house. So you can get money for the tablet and the new e-books!” On Saturday, Amy sells many of her paper books. Then they go to a store and buy a tablet with e-books. Amy is happy. There is only one new problem: she can’t find the charging cable! Oh no! 1 Imagine you are Amy. Complete the sentences.
