This is book number three in the Hong Kong Children's book series: Unforgettable Neighbours
Tailor-made for young readers at ages 8 - 12 in Hong Kong and beyond, the Hong Kong Children’s Stories series is a collection of six English stories written with the local Hong Kong context in mind. Ideal for language learning, leisure and reading aloud among Hong Kong readers young and old, the book series will bring together original short stories and pictures about various aspects of Hong Kong's everyday life:
Book 1: Culinary Charades, which is about Hong Kong food
Book 2: The Summer of 1997, which is about walking down memory lane in Hong Kong
Book 3: Unforgettable Neighbours, which is about animals in Hong Kong
Book 4: Taming Babel, which is about the Cantonese language
Book 5: Herstory, which is about Hong Kong women
Book 6: A Tale of Two Haunted Universities, which is about Hong Kong women
A good neighbour is hard to find, and the old ones who used to come and play with you when you least expected them at your home sweet home would become part of your sentimental childhood memories for certain. In Unforgettable Neighbours, three siblings from Hong Kong, Andrew, Anna and Angus sit around a campfire and recall memories of the old Belcher’s Gardens in Mid-Levels west halfway up Victoria Peak, the serene villa which their grannies used to live before it was demolished in the 1990s. Flashing back in their mind the wealth of greenery, private gardens, antique ponds, classy fountains and playgrounds in the sanctuary of their hearts, the three siblings go back in time, stroll in the Belcher’s Gardens, and meet again their fun and bizarre neighbours who dare to steal bananas from the ancestor shrine, take afternoon naps underneath people’s car bonnets, hang upside down the crystal ceiling lights, and lay eggs in grandpa’s studio!
