It is 1974, but for Dr Mengele and his group of Nazis, World War II is not yet over. They have a terrible plan to conquer the world, but how does it involve a group of boys that come from different countries, yet all look exactly the same? Only one man can find out. "Penguin Readers" is a series of simplified novels, film novelizations and original titles that introduce students at all levels to the pleasures of reading in English. Originally designed for teaching English as a foreign language, the series' combination of high interest level and low reading age makes it suitable for both English-speaking teenagers with limited reading skills and students of English as a second language. Many titles in the series also provide access to the pre-20th century literature strands of the National Curriculum English Orders. "Penguin Readers" are graded at seven levels of difficulty, from "Easystarts" with a 200-word vocabulary, to Level 6 (Advanced) with a 3000-word vocabulary. In addition, titles fall into one of three sub-categories: "Contemporary", "Classics" or "Originals". At the end of each book there is a section of enjoyable exercises focusing on vocabulary building, comprehension, discussion and writing. Some titles in the series are available with an accompanying audio cassette, or in a book and cassette pack. Additionally, selected titles have free accompanying "Penguin Readers Factsheets" which provide stimulating exercise material for students, as well as suggestions for teachers on how to exploit the Readers in class.

I told him to call in once a week, since we won’t be able to reach him if we want to. He’s only going to use it till the bad weather sets in.” Mengele said, “I need to have the dates the men were killed. For my.
Old factory buildings. Three children piled broken stones, making an angled barrier. One of them wore a military knapsack. He walked on. The next cross-street was Frankenstrasse; he followed it to Number 12, a soot-streaked buff apartment house, conventionally modern, behind a narrow well-kept lawn. From its rooftop a finger of black smoke rose up to join the smog-shroud. He watched a woman struggle a baby carriage through the glass entrance door, and went on in the direction of his hotel, the.
In the doorway. Seibert put the things he had taken on the package of records. “Take out the portrait,” he told the co-pilot. He sent the pilot off to make sure no one was in the house and to open all the windows. “May I stand on the sofa?” the co-pilot asked. Seibert said, “My God, why on earth not?” He poured gasoline over the folders and magazines, standing well back, and tossed a few splashes up onto the chart itself. Names gleamed wetly: Hesketh, Eisenbud, Arlen, Looft. The co-pilot.
Put it in at the top again, dialed. There was a Henry Wheelock in New Providence. He wrote the number down below the other one. The woman gave him the address too, Old Buck Road, no house number. A Latin with a suitcase and a leashed poodle went to the registration desk. He thought for a moment, then called the operator and got instructions. He examined his array of coins on the booth’s small shelf, picked out the right ones. It was only when the phone at the other end gave its first ring.
Soon. And don’t leave until they say you should leave.” “I won’t, I won’t, I won’t.” After she left he realized that he hadn’t brought up the business about her and Gary; felt bad about it. Some father. He crutched himself up and down the corridor, hard work with the cast still on his hand. Got to know some of the other patients, griped about the food. Gorin called. “Yakov?
