A girl who gets mysterious questions followed by philosophy courses in the mail. She knows who sends those, but she also gets birthday greetings from Hilde's father to Hilde in her c/o. Who is Hilde? And why is she getting her birthday cards?

The maze that keeps anyone absorbed in the book for days!

That I had to finish the book!

Read it again, then reread it, then reread it, then reread it!

Stupid yet intelligent. I felt stupid coz I thought about what Socrates said. "One thing only that I know, and that is I know nothing." If he, the philosophy genius, said that, then what about you and me?



Yes I felt intelligent coz I learned more, and with every time I read this book I learn even more.

He really has a talent in writing. I am amazed by how enetertaining he made philosophy!

It is suitable for all ages, but it is written for teenagers. It's a brilliant book for someone who has ANY question in philosophy. And if someone doesn't know anything about philosophy, then this is the book to start with!

If you don't appreciate philosophers or the science of philosophy, then this book isn't for you.

You have to read this book. And by the way, this is the fourth book that no one answered in my contest, "Invalid Item" .
