Kakatok-katok sa Bahay ni Benok
Sa Sitio San Nikolas, hindi makatulog si Benok. May narinig siyang kumatok sa tapat ng bahay. Sumilip siya sa bintana.
May mga lalaking nakapaligid. Nang makapasok sila sa bahay, biglang TOK! At sa ilang sandali, nagmadali silang umalis.
Kinabukasan, narinig ni Benok na nawawala ang anak ng mekaniko. Simula noon, gabi-gabi, may kumakatok. Gabi-gabi, may nawawala.
Ano ang gagawin ni Benok at ng Sitio San Nikolas?

We dream of raising empowered readers
Functional illiteracy is one of the root causes of economic and societal problems in the country. At Looking for Juan, it is our hope to raise a generation of socially aware readers and learners by fostering a love of books.
Through our Buy 1, Donate Books to Juan program, we match every purchase with book donations to Filipino children in underprivileged communities, exposing them to quality books made by the best Filipino authors and artists. Beyond this, we can do so much more. Take part in our social impact projects by being a Looking for Juan volunteer.
