Guest: Arif Iskandar Ridzuan

With Children's Day in Malaysia traditionally celebrated every last Saturday of October, we're dedicating this entire month to what kids and young people are reading. Every week this October, we're doing a Book Club with a different child (or young person!) and asking them to share their current favourite read. This week, we're joined by 17-year-old Arif Iskandar Ridzuan, who's recommending the first book of the Mistborn trilogy, which blends magic, politics and killer storytelling, to tell the tale of a group of thieves and plotters (led by the charismatic Kelsier, but primarily told from the point of view of Vin, an orphan learning about her powers), who are trying to overthrow a government led by a ruler who may also be a god. If it sounds intriguing, that's because it is! Arif explains why this is a book he's enjoyed and how it's contributed to his reading habits.
