A Letter to God
Lencho's faith, the hailstorm, the postmaster's charity and the irony of the ending, weighted towards the faith-versus-blind-belief question the 2026 board papers asked.
18 cards →Chapter 2Nelson Mandela: Long Walk to Freedom
The 1994 inauguration, apartheid and its cost, Mandela's definitions of courage and freedom, and the twin obligations — weighted heavily towards the inaugural-address extract the 2026 papers set in all three sets.
24 cards →Chapter 3Two Stories about Flying
Both halves of the chapter — the young seagull's first flight and the pilot's night in the storm — with the seagull's parents and the narrator's decision to take the risk weighted up on the 2026 papers.
20 cards →Chapter 4From the Diary of Anne Frank
Why Anne began a diary, who Kitty is, her family sketch, and the Mr Keesing essays — weighted towards the character question about how Anne handles difficult situations that the 2026 papers asked.
19 cards →Chapter 5Glimpses of India
All three sections — the Goan pader, Coorg, and tea from Assam — with 'A Baker from Goa' weighted up after it was set as a 3-mark question in the 2026 papers.
24 cards →Chapter 6Mijbil the Otter
How Maxwell acquired Mij in Basra, what otters do with water, the journey to London and Mij's habits there. This chapter was not set in the 2026 papers available, so the weighting follows the chapter's own emphasis.
23 cards →Chapter 7Madam Rides the Bus
Valli's planning, the journey out and back, and the dead cow that changes everything. This chapter was not set in the 2026 papers available, so the weighting follows the chapter's own emphasis.
21 cards →Chapter 8The Sermon at Benares
The Buddha's life before enlightenment, the mustard-seed errand given to Kisa Gotami, and the sermon on death and grief — the chapter set in all three 2026 paper sets, so the mustard-seed lesson is weighted heavily.
17 cards →Chapter 9The Proposal
Chekhov's one-act farce — the three quarrellers, the Oxen Meadows dispute, the argument over Guess and Squeezer, and the proposal that survives them. The Oxen Meadows quarrel is weighted up after it was set as a 3-mark question in the 2026 papers.
