     I read "The Mystery of Allegra". Allegra is an unusual name. It means 'happy' in Italian, but the little girl in this story is sometimes very sad. Adrian,'I', is an English boy and tries to help this poor girl. I'll introduce important points with quotation. She was looking at me with big eyes, as blue as Italian sky in summer. Her blond hair was as bright as sunlight round her pale face.         This sentences is when Adrian met Allegra for the first time. He visited Italy with his parents on Holiday. They stayed a villa and he slept in a room different from his parents. Then, in night he met her. The reason I like this sentences is that it uses metaphors and easy to imagine her looks. Especially, I like "big eyes, as blue as Italian sky in summer". I have never visited Italy, but I can imagine sunny Italian sky. Also, it is an expression that can be made because he is traveling Italy. She was pale and beautiful, like the girl in my r

     I read "The Three Musketeers". This book is a very famous story, and a long time ago, puppet theater was broadcast in Japan. I miss that memory. The story is about a man, D' Artagnan, who dreamed to be a musketeers. He fights many difficulty with three musketeers. I'll introduce important scenes with quotations. D' Artagnan was happy because now he had three friends in the musketeers - Athos, Porthos and Aramis.       This sentence is the beginning of his adventure with three musketeers. They fight to the cardinal's guards together, and became friends. Then they had many exciting times, many fights, and many laughs. One for all, all for one!      when I say this work, it's this dialogue. When I was child, I watched this puppet theater. I was too young to remember this story, but I only remember this sentence. Also, when they say this, it was also impressive to stack their sword.      This book is set in France, sometimes with names of people

   This week, I read "Moondial". Minty has a strange power and went to her Aunt Mary's house for the summer holidays. Then, she begins strange adventure - a journey through time into past. I'll introduce important points with quotation. The statue was of a boy and an old man. They seemed to be fighting to hold a bowl above their heads.    This statue is in garden. When main character, Minty, touched it, suddenly cold wind blew. It is the beginning of her adventure. Also, when you understand what it shows, you'll read the contents more. Minty almost screamed, too - because the face that she saw in the mirror was the face of Miss Raven!    I was excited in this scene. Miss Raven is the stranger, Minty dislike her. And Miss never live in the era of this scene. As a result, reader find what she is.    This book is long and its words are little difficult, so I wasn't very interesting. At first, I read it because I wanted to read horror and selected it. Bu

   This week, I read "voodoo Island". This book is a kind of horror. Voodoo is a special magic that is used in Haiti. It can be used for both good and bad. I'll introduce important points with quotation. And look, there's a pin in the doll's stomach. A few days later the man came to hospital because his stomach hurt. He knew that someone was using voodoo against him.The pain was terrible, but the doctors couldn't find anything wrong with him. In the end, he died.    This sentences are introduction of terrible voodoo. Even doctors can't find his pain. When I read these sentences, I thought that voodoo might be the strongest. It can long range attack. Also, only "houngans" who know how to use voodoo might break this magic. This graveyard is very old. Nobody comes here now. The people in this graveyard died a hundred years old. ~ This is Mr Conway's land. He bought it a few days ago. He's going to build shops here and we're going
