Story retold · The KnotdKids reading team · For readers in Primary 1 · Three parts · 5 minutes to read

Face the thing that scares you

Free

A new dog moves in next door, big and brown, with a bark as loud as thunder. Lily's hands go cold every time she walks past the fence, so she takes the long way past the bins instead. Then Dad walks her to the fence and says just stand here. The new word is courage.

This is one of six books that are free to read, one for every year group. The other 54 come with a plan — HKD 79 a month, cancel any time.
