“Books make great gifts because they have whole worlds inside of them. And it's much cheaper to buy somebody a book than it is to buy them the whole world!” ―Neil Gaiman
Books are versatile gifts that cater to diverse tastes and interests. Whether it's a gripping novel, an inspiring biography, or an immersive travel memoir, there's a book for everyone. Books offer escapism, self-discovery, and a chance to unplug and unwind. What’s more, unlike fleeting trends, a well-chosen book stands the test of time; they endure as cherished possessions, becoming companions and offering a lifetime of enjoyment and wisdom. Books make excellent presents because they transcend the ordinary, offering a meaningful connection and an enduring source of joy. So, this holiday season, consider the gift of knowledge - a book that will not only be unwrapped but also unravelled, page by page, creating lasting memories and fostering a love for the written word.
For those who celebrate Christmas, here are some suggestions for festive reads: https://www.rd.com/list/christmas-books/
I’d also like to add my own recommendation to this list - for younger readers, The Christmasaurus by Tom Fletcher.
Happy holidays!

Year 8 Hungarian students went to a Hungarian trip to Gödöllői Királyi Kastély. We learned that Sisi and her family came to this castle in their free time to relax and hunt during fall, winter, and spring.
This spring break proved to be both busy and rewarding for British International School Budapest students, Laura Ivanka and Lizanna Ivanka, who achieved remarkable results at two major RoboCup Junior competitions.
