|

| 17 | In the Netherlands, you don't really have a middle school. After six years of elementary/primary school, you enter high school. When I was around middle school age, I read everything by Thea Beckman. My most favorite are her two trilogies, one about the Hundred Year's War and one about a possible future.<br />
|
|---|
| 18 | The trilogy on the Hundred Year's War: Geef Me de Ruimte / Triomf van de Verschroeide Aarde / Het Rad van Fortuin<br />
|
|---|
| 19 | The trilogy on a possible future: Kinderen van Moeder Aarde / Het Helse Paradijs / Het Gulden Vlies van Thule<br />
|
|---|
| 20 | I can recommend both these trilogies, and I hope to see them translated into English soon! (no idea if this is a future project, though!)</p>
