Book Review:       This week I read Deep Trouble. First I thought this story is about flood, but it’s not. Amy and Matt rode a ship because they want to play. However it was drug trafficker’s boat. Lastly thanks to their friends they could escape there. Now I wrote down three quotes and will discuss them. The first one is: But before Matt could stop it, a man’s voice came out of the night.(p.8) When I read this first I was surprised. So I like this expression. Second one is: There are some packages down there - twenty of them.(p.15) Packages means drugs. I thought without the word showing a meaning is interesting. I want to use the expression someday. The last one is: ‘I’m going to study. We have an exam tomorrow, remember?’(p.37) It was Matt’s words. He was said it by his friends before. But through a dangerous journey he thought boring is good.                 I want to recommend this book. There are two reasons. First, there are many interesting expressions. I

I liked this story among I read this week, because there are many colorful pictures, and easy to read. I wrote down three quotes and will discuss them.

It was true, but I was surprised when I read one phrase. ‘No, Mr Holmes. My wife found this in the bird!’ Actually the blue diamond was found from a stomach of a goose. Holmes was surprised, too.
