rereads247

I am thirteen years old and in seventh grade. I live in Germany and I go to a german school. I hope to travel a lot when I retire. I have good parents who take me on my adventures and four siblings who make up about 80% of the fun I have on each adventure. I really like books and I love to encounter libraries and literature in each country I go to. I work at three libraries in Germany.
