Yesterday, at 11 o’clock, there was a robbery at your school. This morning a very old and valuable book is missing from the library. The police don’t know who is not telling the truth. Can you find the book?

Fatima

In the morning I was in my English class. Then at 10 o’clock I was in the cafeteria with Alex. Normally Julia is in the café, but she wasn’t there yesterday. At 10:15 I was in the library. I love reading. I think books are great! At 11 o’clock I was in my music class. I don’t really like music. It’s boring.

"

Robert

In the morning I was in my English class with Fatima. I like English. Our English teacher, Mr Matthews, is really funny. At ten o’clock I was in the cafeteria. Alex was there too. At twenty past ten I was in the library. Then, at 11 o’clock I was in my music class. Fatima is usually in my class but she wasn’t yesterday. I think she was ill.

Aziz

In the morning I was in the theatre with our teacher Mrs Jarvis. At ten o’clock I was in the cafeteria. Normally Julia and Fatima are there but they weren’t yesterday. At a quarter past ten I was in my maths class. I love maths but Julia, my friend, hates it. At 11 o’clock I was in the library. Fatima was there. She was reading an old book. She was very happy. I don’t like old books. I love comics.
