A Dangerous Weekend

A graded reader for learners of English (EFL) Level 3 A2/B1 Intermediate (1) Word count: 10,947 It is Easter Sunday. I am hiding in a bedroom of a large house in a mountain valley. I have two small children with me. Anabel is almost asleep but Jaime is excited. It is difficult to keep him quiet. I don’t know who owns the house. I don’t know where the children’s parents are. But there are men with guns in the house. I know that we are in danger, and I must try to keep the children safe. I have put furniture against the door, but the men are pushing against it. In a few seconds they will push the door open. I don’t know what to do. But I do know that none of this is my fault!
