By the way, archaeologists really have discovered a flute made from bone and one clever person has even made a reconstruction that you can really play a tune on!

They were very child-centric in the way they brought us up, giving us the power to make decisions and encouraging us to challenge ourselves work things out for ourselves.Albie’s dad consoles himself by letting his work consume him, but not before answering one of Albie’s questions with an answer that sets him on a path that spirals quickly out of control … into parallel words.
