IB Thinkin’ About University
The high and radiant sun glowed and a cool gentle breeze slipped through the towering buildings of Toronto on Friday, April 20th.

The Girl on Fire

Both are young adult novels turned major motion pictures that have taken the world by a storm, and both have had outstanding performances at the box office. Love
