Everyone should have a bucket list, but when your particular bucket happens to be the trash can, getting through your to-dos and into the affections of the girl you like can be tough. Will Tom's strategy and the items on his list be enough to overcome the fact that in tennis, love is zero? Tom is an easy Chinese reader intended for students with approximately a year of Chinese study. It emphasizes the highest-frequency words and structures and contains 369 unique Chinese characters. A full glossary and overleaf Pinyin support let new readers read independently. Tom fits between Susan you mafan! and Josh Duyiwuer in this series of easy readers by Terry Waltz.
