Advantages: Extremely well written and enjoyable read. Disadvantages: none
Out Of The Hitler Time is the compilation of what was originally three separate books written by Judith Kerr:
When Hitler Stole Pink Rabbit
The Other Way Round
A Small Person Far Away
These three books together follow one family’s story during and after World War Two. The books are based on Judith Kerr’s own experiences, as she tells us in a short piece at the end of the book.
The family in question is a German Jewish family, Anna, her elder ... ...flight in the early 1930s from Germany, first to Switzerland then France and finally ending up in Britain. The second book covers the time of the war, with the family in Britain, and the third book tells us of their life afterwards when the children have grown up and made their own lives.

Advantages: Two fantastic books Disadvantages: None i know of
...these to raise money for Comic Relief - even more reason to invest. Quidditch through the Ages
The first book in the pack gives a very detailed analysis of the complex game of Quidditch, describing Quidditch history, historic games, rules and tricks including the 'sloth grip roll' (you'll have to buy it to find out what it is). It's a superb reference book.
Fantastic Beasts and where to find them
The second book in the set is almost as ... ...this book outlines the creatures in the magical world, with a large number of different creatures to learn more about. i even used this whilst reading book 7 to find out more about the crumple-horned snorkack - useful years after it was published!
A nice addition in this book are the funny annotations 'made by harry' which include little jokes (mainly at the expense of Hagrid).
Overall, you simply must purchase these books, whether in this pack ...
