Conclusion
of THE SUGAR GLIDER |
||
Every
time you read a book, you should consider the cultural reality that is
usually hidden behind its pages. Books offer you much more than a plot
and a few characters, even if you are reading an adapted version. In this
case, we have learnt a lot about Australia, its culture, nature and way
of life. I really hope you have enjoyed it! |
