Magazine. Newspaper. Novel. Painting. Poetry. Story. Writer. Expressions.

We are looking for a book. Can you help us? Where is it? It is behind the door. It is

between the door and the lamp. It is under the chair. It is over the table. It is on the

table. It is near the poetry book. It is next to the newspaper. It is in front of the desk.

It is in the drawer. He found a bag under the bed. Look, it is under the bed. What type of book is it?

It is a novel. What did she do yesterday? She read a novel. What happened at the library yesterday?

People borrowed books. When did he borrow this book? He borrowed it last Sunday.

Why did he go to the library? He wanted to borrow a book. He looked at the table. He looked for

some information in the library. He looked some words up in the dictionary.

Chapter 8. The Black Book. It is a sunny day outside. But Arda and Noah are at the library.

They stand in front of the big bookcase. How many black books are there in this library?

Hundreds! How can we find the waist filter guide here? We worked so hard at the factory with

our wonderful plan. People are on holiday at the moment. Now it is time to find the waist filter guide.

Let's look for it together. We can't give up. We must find it.

Suddenly they hear a voice. There is a young boy sitting behind them. He is younger than them. His

eyeglasses are almost bigger than his face. You must be quiet.

Why are you at the library? It's a sunny day outside. Go play with your friends at the fun fair.

My name is Bookie. I'm a bookworm and I love libraries. I don't want to go out.

What? That's silly. You are a human. You want a worm?

The little boy laughs. I'm not a worm. I'm a bookworm.

I don't understand. What is a bookworm? What does it mean?

A. You are Bookie. Explain the meaning of Bookworm to Arda.

A bookworm is a person. He or she loves reading a lot.

Oh, now I understand the meaning of Bookworm. You look like a clever boy. You know this library very well.

Can you help us? B. You are Bookie. Read the instructions in brackets and ask questions.

Example. What do you need? We are looking for a book. What type of book is it? A waste filter guide.

What colour is the book? It's black. Who is the author of the book?

I don't know anything about its writer. I'm sorry.

Why are you looking for the book? Because we want to turn the filter on. We need information about the waste filter.

It's in that book. We must save the ocean. It's very important. Tell us. Where is it?

Bookie smiles. He points at his desk. It is full of books.

Help me put my books on the right bookshelves. Then I can help you find the waste filter guide.

Arda and Noah help Bookie put his books on the shelves. See.

Match the books on Bookie's desk with their bookshelves.

Thank you for helping me. Miss Rita hides that book in her room, but it's locked.

Arda shows Bookie the key.

We have the key. Let's go and find the book.

Arda, Bookie and the other sea boys open the door and enter Miss Rita's room.

D. Look at the picture and the list of the words. Write what Arda and his friends find there.

It isn't here. Don't lose your hope. We have Miss Rita's diary.

Maybe we can find the location of the waste filter guide in it.

But we can't read her diary. It's wrong to do this. It's private.

We were pirates and we stole Angelic's gold. It's not worse than that.

And we were cursed, remember?

This time we have a good reason. Do you want to clean the ocean or not?

Okay, okay. Let's read it.

E. Fill in the blanks with the past forms of the words in the boxes.

Dear diary, I was at the library last week. I wasn't very busy, so I had a few novels there.

It was peaceful and relaxing, but many people came to the library yesterday.

It was 4 p .m. and Mr. Despoda visited the library yesterday too.

Why? He bought a magazine last Sunday. He read it two days ago.

But he didn't understand some words, so he borrowed a dictionary and he looked up some words in it.

He was very angry because the library was noisy.

You are a very bad librarian. The library is noisy. You can't do your job well, he said to me.

I felt awful. The library was noisy because there were a lot of people in it.

That wasn't my fault.

I gave you a book two years ago, remember? Do you hide it well? He asked.

Sure, it's safe behind my bookcase, I said.

He laughed and said, good, workers shouldn't find it. I don't want to spend any money to save nature.

I just pour the waste into the ocean and the water cleans it. Clever, right?

Of course it is in clever. That waste is very harmful for nature. I hate Mr. Despoda, but he's our leader.

So, I can't say anything to him.

F. Read Ms. Reader's Diary again. Match the questions with their answers. G. Answer the questions according to Ms. Reader's Diary.

Now we know it's location. Let's take it.

Look. Here. It's here. Come on. We must go to the factory and turn the filter on.

They're very happy. The seaboys, Arda and Bookie all go to the factory.

I feel awful. We read Ms. Reader's Diary. It was wrong.

Stop it, Fisher. We are trying to save the ocean. We have a good reason. What kind of pirates are you?

Pirates do bad things and they don't feel awful.

We were pirates many years ago. We stole Angelic's gold and we escaped. It was wrong, but we didn't feel bad about it.

Later, we were cursed and we turned into seaboys. We lived in the underwater city. It changed us.

Now we know that's the treasure of the ocean. We are sorry for our bad actions. What about you?

You stole Angelic's gold too. Don't you feel bad about it?

Well, I didn't steal it. I found it. My parents are veterinarians. There were ill animals in our city, but their medicine was expensive.

We needed money to help them. I heard stories about the treasure in Magnific. Then I found the treasure map.

I passed the exam to study at Magnific. I went there and found the treasure. I didn't tell anyone about the treasure.

I didn't know that it was Angelic's treasure. I heard stories about a curse, but I didn't believe them.

I cured ill animals with that money. In the end, I was cursed, but the animals are fine now.

Doing a bad thing for a good reason? Is it okay or not? That's a very hard question. I can't answer it, but I know we must stop that factory.

I think intention is more important than action. For example, Robin Hood. He steals from rich people and it's a bad thing,

but he does it to help poor people, so he is a good man. Today we read Miss Reader's diary because we want to save nature.

So, we are like Robin Hood. We did a bad thing, but we have a good reason. But Fisher is right too.

Miss Reader trusted us, but we read her diary. We did a bad thing, and we don't feel good about it.

So we are like Robin Hood today, but Robin Hood isn't perfect. We aren't perfect either. We should apologise to Miss Reader, but first we should save nature.

Our mind is full of these thoughts on the way to the factory. Then they arrive at the factory and enter a room.

Look! The waste filter is here. It's a big machine. It filters and cleans the waste, and we must turn it on.

There are many buttons on it. Which one turns it on?

Let's read the guide and learn.

H. Follow the instructions and push the right buttons on the control panel. Write the number of the step on the correct button to push it.

Nothing happens.

It doesn't work, and the waste filter guide doesn't have a chapter about this. Drew, you are a mechanic. You can repair it.

Drew looks at Arda. He is confused.

I'm not a mechanic. I'm a pirate and a sea boy. I can't repair machines.

Pirates, treasures, curses. What are you talking about? You are all crazy. Just give me a laptop.

A laptop? Why do you need a laptop?

I can go online, find an e -book about this problem.

An e -book? What's an e -book?

I. You are bookie. Answer Fisher's question. What's an e -book?

It's a book, but it isn't printed. You can read it on the internet.

Casta gives his laptop to bookie.

I'm a salesman here, and they gave me a laptop. But I can't use it well. You can have it.

Bookie takes the laptop and looks for information about waste filters.

Here, we must push the white button.

Arda pushes the white button. Suddenly, the control panel goes up. They can see the cables now.

Is there a missing cable? Let's see.

Bookie reads the correct locations of the cables, and Arda checks them.

J. Look at the cables. Find the missing cables and draw them. Use colored pencils.

There is a red cable between A1 and E4. There is a blue cable between B2 and B6.

There is an orange cable between A5 and E5. There is another cable under the orange cable.

It starts from A, and it ends in D, so it's shorter than the orange cable. Its color is black.

Let's try.

He closes the control panel and pushes the buttons again. This time, the waste filter is on.

All of them cheer and hug each other. They start singing a song together.

The sun is shining over the ocean. Yo -ho -ho and the waste filter is on.

It's early to celebrate. Despo -ta is on holiday. He can come turn the filter off and send us home next week.

So we must talk to everyone in horrifica before he comes. They must have a new leader. Despo -ta must go.

Now check all your answers in this chapter. Work on your mistakes. Then go to page 137 and get to your award.

Cut and stick it on my treasure page at the back of the book.
