BR9: I'm the King of the Castle

"I'm the King of the Castle!" shouted Kingshaw. (p. 50)

I read I'm the King of the Castle. It is so easy for me to understand. This story is about bullying. One summer day, two children live in same house. Edmund Hopper doesn't want to have friend and he doesn't like Charles Kingshaw, so he bullies him. Kingshaw doesn't like him too, so he decided to run away from their house.

After reading, I thought children are afraid of various things, thunder, higher, and human. Also, they are cruel sometimes.

BR 8: The House in the Picture and Abbot Thomas' Treasure

'What happening?' he asked.
'I don't know,' replied Mr Williams. 'But it's a very strange engraving! (p. 19)

 I read "The House in the Picture and Abbot Thomas' Treasure".  This story is about a picture. The picture is changing from day to day. So, They decided to research the artist of this picture. Who is A.F? What happening to him?
This story is horror, but it is so interesting. I recommend you to read it!

BR7: Skyjack!

'You are not innocent!' said the girl. 'No one is innocent! People like you, and your wife, and that American - you have money and power and you take it from my people, from us!' (p. 36)

 I read Skyjack!. This is suspense story and exciting. One day, when a large plane is hijacked, there are two men. One is a police man, and the other is a husband of President. The terrorists' purpose is that releasing their brothers who were murders from prison. Whether did President decide to release them and help the passenger, or not release them and take other ways?
