This was the last level two reader I found. It was very hard to track down. For several months it was on amazon for over £20 then eventually it showed up for less than five. I don't know why this one was so difficult to find compared with the others.

The story was ok but quite silly. A boy had an old painting that he found that had belonged to a woman who was kind to him. Many people offered him lots of money for it and he refused to sell it, and had to go on the run and eventually found the old lady it belonged to in hospital and told his story on television. Definitely not one of the more realistic stories! But it was quite readable and a good mix of vocabularly words.
