Let’s explore the magical world of reading! 

September’s Reading

When Zack returns home to a sleepy town in the heart of Africa, he thinks he is in for a dreary summer holiday. With two lazy sisters and a bunch of bullies in the town, there is not much hope for him. It all changes when he forms a friendship with Kante, his new ‘rafiki’.

The Boat Race is a story of friendship, mystical creatures and the magic of a million stars of love and kindness. Above all, a story of Africa.

This month of Young Adventurers’ Book Club, we will travel to Africa with writer Anjali Mittal, to see the wildebeest migration and the wild animals in Africa, and meet the Maasai tribes! 

ANJALI MITTAL graduated from the University of York with a degree in Chemistry and obtained a diploma in Perfumery. Her writing career began in 2009 and since then she has published five books. 

She presents at schools and offers workshops which she has done in Hong Kong, China, U.K. and Africa. 

Anjali is an active member of the Hong Kong Writer’s Circle and critique groups in Hong Kong as well as in the U.K., and a member of two book clubs and the founder of the German Swiss International School (GSIS) Book Club which has been actively running since 2011. 

She was a participating author in the Young Readers Literary Festival in 2018 (link attached), as well as the Hong Kong Literary Festival 2019. She has partaken in podcasts, radio shows and panel discussions in her author capacity. She has published stories in the HKWC anthology and is currently working on an adult fiction novel as well as the fourth book of the Zack and Kante series.

All three books of Anjali latest series are published in Chinese in Hong Kong in traditional Chinese, and in Beijing in simplified Chinese.
