Journal J

 

 

              I read three books and I write about two books review. First, I read “MONSTER HOUSE” which was written by Anne Collins and published by Penguin Active Reading. The story is horror. The boy whose name is DJ lives in an American town. Mr. Nebbercracker lives opposite DJ’s house. Mr. Nebbercracker dislikes being invaded his garden laid to law. Therefore, when the children, DJ, Chowder and Jerry, invade his ground, he shouts and takes children’s toys. One day, the children’s ball entered in his ground and he shouted for the children in his usual way. However, at that time, he fell down to his ground, and was taken immediately to the hospital by ambulance. After that, Mr. Nebbercracker’s house moved strangely. However, no other people believed that it is true. Therefore, the children started to watch the house and they thought that it is Mr. Nevercracker’s curse. He may have died. Actually, he had lived. Due to his house as if monster, he couldn’t go out his house. The children decided to help his from his house.

 

              I was excited to read this book because this book is horror and what has never happen is written. There are eight characters, so I was confused at first. I think that Mr. Nevercracker is gentleman in fact, and I was glad he could behave unreserved with the children.

 

Next, I read “Island for sale” which was written by Anne Collins and published by Penguin Active Reading. This story is about a man whose name is Duncan. He lives in an island with his dog Jock. One day, Duncan gave a large amount of charge from the electricity company. However, he didn’t have enough money, so he thought that he sells the island to get a lot of money. In fact, he didn’t want to buy his island because he likes his island. To buy his island, the famous American rock star Leaping Larry and his girl- friend Roxanne came his island with them dog Bobo. However, due to his castle was stopped electricity, Roxanna refused to buy island. And then, they came back California. Therefore, he was happy, but he didn’t get a lot of money. He was embarrassed. After the day, he met a woman in his island.

 

This book is easy for me to read with the words I can understand. This story can see Duncan’s being turned between conflicting. However, a woman helps him to give good advices. I think she is smart and he may be happy to get married and have two children.

 

I found fun to read books written in English. Therefore, I want to try to read these books.
