Navidad en Familia Historia- Christmas with the Family Spanish Story

I hope you enjoy this book I created.

I am offering it as a Christmas Freebie!

I was influenced by my childhood stories and memories.

The Secret of Star Hill is an exciting graded reader for young learners aged 9–12. It is perfect for A2-level English students. The story follows Lena and Tom, two curious children who love adventure. One night, they ride their bikes up Star Hill and meet a friendly alien named Zuri. He needs help to fix his spaceship and return home. Together, the children and Zuri go on a journey through a dark forest and a scary cave.

This story teaches values like friendship, teamwork, and courage. It also helps children talk about feelings such as fear, surprise, and happiness. The book uses simple words and short sentences. It supports reading skills and builds confidence in English.

Beautiful cartoon-style illustrations bring the story to life. At the end, learners will enjoy fun activities to check understanding and use new words. The Secret of Star Hill is not just a story—it’s a great way to inspire young learners and show that helping others makes a big difference.

A great choice for class or home reading!
