🎶 The Midnight Orchestra
In this enchanting interactive storybook, young A2-level readers follow Ellie, a girl who cannot sleep. One night at midnight, she creeps downstairs and discovers something extraordinary: every object in her house is alive and playing music. The grandfather clock plays drums, the kettle whistles melodies, the broom sweeps rhythm on the floor, and the curtains dance. But the orchestra is missing something — a singer. When Ellie joins in with her voice, the music becomes complete. But keeping the secret is harder than she thinks, especially when her parents notice she is always tired. Features 14 pages of A2-level narrative with vocabulary tooltips, flashcards, matching, fill-in-the-blank, and a 10-question quiz.
