Title: Beneath the Midnight SkyLevel: Intermediate (B1-B2)Story: Luna has spent a year haunted by the sudden disappearance of Theo, her best friend and the person she secretly loved. When he unexpectedly returns under the midnight sky, it stirs a storm of emotions—anger, heartbreak, and unresolved feelings.
