No. 2 Dead Man's Island

Mr. Ross lives on an island where no visitors come. He stops people from taking photographs of him. He is young and rich, but he looks sad. And there is one room in his house which is always locked. (from back cover)

I read a book, "Dead Man's Island." I was surprised at an unexpected ending. The main character is Carol. She is a student and loves Jake Rosso who is a famous singer. However, he dies in a car accident, so she is so sad. Moreover, she can't go to school because she was shocked about his death. One day, she and her mother go to the strange island to work. Her mother works for Mr Ross who lives in the island. She notices that he has a secret. If you want to know his secret, please read it!

No. 1 The Canterville Ghost

There has been a ghost in the house for three hundred years, and Lord Canterville's family have had enough of it. So Lord Canterville sells his grand old house to an American family. Mr Hirram B. Otis is happy to buy the house and the ghost- because of course Americans don't believe in ghosts. (from back cover)

I read a book, "The Canterville Ghost." It was a frightening story, but I thought it was interesting. There may be many ghosts in the most grand old house. Some of them are quiet and kindly, others are noisy. The latter cause people a lot of trouble, for example, people can't get any sleep at night because of always banging doors, crashing about in chains and many other things. Therefore, people are always afraid of them. However, an American family decide to live in a house where a ghost stays. They are not afraid of ghost, but expectations, ghost is afraid of people. If you are interested in this story, please read it!
