When the Mystery machine gets a flat tire, the van stopped in front of an old castle. This van is very cute♪They helped this old castle.

This castle is very old and large. Three people want to get this castle, but there was a happening!! A ghost show up!!

It us up to Scooby-Doo and his friends to get to the bottom of this haunted mystery.

The Witches of pendle ♪

I read <The Witches of pendle> It was easy to read. I finished reading at soon.

In England in the 1600s many people believed in witches. I think witch hunt is wrong!! This is a girl's story of her family.

Her name is Jannet Device.

They are poor, thin and hungry every day.

Her family is witches except Jannet. Villagers hated them.

One day a rich man helped her. She isn't poor. Her family were arrested as witches and died....

After a rich man died, Jannet was arrested as witches!! She became to poor again.

It is very sad story. Illustrations are eerie.

Do you believe “Dracula”? I believe it.

Count Dracula lives in a large castle in Transylvania. He is a vampire. He drinks people's blood.
He wants to buy a house in England, so he helps law company. The company sends Jonathan Harker. If I work at this company, I don't want to go there!!

This book is a little long. It is difficult for me. Few pictures take in. These pictures are horrible. This story is very thrill!!

I read "Under the Moon" this time. This book is SF. I read SF at the first time.

Can you image that the earth breaking up? I cant image now, but it may happen.

This book is set 2522. The forests are beginning to burn, the rivers are running dry.....

At the end the earth die.

Few people lives under the moon.

Do you want to go to the moon?? I want to go to there in the future!! How much does it cost? I can't guess!!

It is a very funny.

This book made up with 28 short story. All story are very fun!! These story put in the newspaper every week in England. In this book there are different stories about some of these strange and interesting.　

My recomend story is "No job in the cupboard". A man found a new job. A boss asked him to come into his office.　After a man took an interview, he made a mistake!!

He opened a cupboard's door!! It wasn't the door out of the office. And he stayed in it all night!!

I had a very good reading time.

-Pocahontas-

I read “Pocahontas”. I like this book, because it is love story.
Main characters are beautiful young Indian girl and a brave Englishman.
Her name is Pocahontas. His name is John Smith.

In 1607 the English come to Virginia, in North America. They build a town and call it Jamestown. But Indian lived there. It was their country.
Some of the Indian likes English, but other doesn’t like them.

Pocahontas fall in love with him at first sight, but their love didn’t bear fruit!!
Smith went back for England. He said nothing for her.
A few later, she married other John. She is happy. Then they went to England. I think England is very exciting and interested for Indian girl.

This is my recommends book.
