Top Secret

Everyone who is born one day has to leave this world. But what were we doing before we got here? And what is it like in the place we go next? That’s still a big mystery! So many smart people have tried to figure it out. But no one has found the answer yet. Maybe this time will be different! Read the story and find out if the protagonists of this daring mission—just like something from a spy movie—finally solve the secret. Could it be that the big mystery is no longer top secret?

Top Secret is divided into two stories. In the first one, our young hero says goodbye to his Great-Grandpa. Before leaving, the old man makes a special promise with his great-grandson: they’ll send each other secret signals, just like in a spy movie. But will the boy receive the long-awaited sign after Grandpa is gone?

In the second story, the boy is waiting for a new sibling. His little brother will be born soon, and the boy isn’t quite sure what to expect from this tiny newcomer. How much will his life change? What will their relationship be like? Curious and full of questions, he decides to run a little experiment. He doesn’t remember anything from the time he spent in his mom’s belly—but maybe his brother will! To find out, the boy begins reading to the baby before he’s even born. He chooses a story about five little bears and reads one verse each day. Later, when the baby arrives and learns to speak (or maybe even before that!), the boy plans to check—will his brother remember the story? But things take an unexpected turn…
