  Arman's Journey I read the book, Arman's Journey. Arman was seventeen and lived with his mother in a small town. There were fighting in the mountains near his town and the soldiers came into his town and were looking for young man to be soldiers. They tried to make him a soldier but his mother didn't want him to be a soldier because her husband was dead as a soldier. She made him go to England where her uncle lived. On the way there, Arman encountered Dani and they became friends. Arman and Dani finally arrived the uncle's house by riding a truck in the hot weather, getting into the very cold and dark water, and sneaking into the cargo of a truck bound for England. His mother's uncle, Jacob found jobs for them but the money wasn't good and Arman hated the big man, Fred, they worked for. One day, he fell in love with Rose who taught them English and she was a  daughter of Fred.  Fred watched that Arman and Rose were kissing and he made Arman go back to his home

He had a wife, Mary. But, she left him because she got anger with his attitude.  After that moment, he became the winner of the lottery and got eight million pounds. He decided to go  to Glasgow where Mary went to. He took taxi that the driver was Barry Green who was running from the police. Rick told him that he won the lottery, so he took him to the cafe to rob the lottery from Rick. At the cafe, Rick hit his head when Barry tried to steal. And, he lost his memory. After losing his memory, he encountered new friend, Sarah who is a singer. Finally, Rick became her guitarist and they played in the Glasgow. Mary came to watch their music, but Rick didn't remember her. From this book, I learned that nobody knows what will happen to our life. Thank you.

I read this book, the title is The Last Photo. Pam who liked taking photo and his brother, Martin hanged out to take some pictures. Pam took the last photo of Martin to finish the film in her camera. Three days later, she has got her photos from the shop. Almost all the photos were  pretty good, but in the last photo, the man with a big rucksack on his back was in front of Martin. Pam was very depressed, but Martin brought the newspaper and said that this man might be the man in the paper who stoled hundred thousand ponds from his workplace, and the police was looking for him. The last photo Pam took became an important clue. This book was interesting to read, so I like it. Especially, I didn't think that the man who was in the Pam's photo and in the newspaper was the same person, so it was amazing for me that Martin realized. I enjoyed reading this book! Thank you!

 I read the book, the title is The Fifteenth Character . Sally who worked at amusement park, Happy Hills. Her work of the day was to wear a cat costume. To wear a costume was hot, so nobody liked wearing costumes. In addition, the person who wear a cat costume can only say miaow to the children all the day. That day, Zapp who was a famous singer came there. He lost the unsold CD he brought for promotion. The policeman came to investigate and the amusement park was in the fuss. At first, there were only 14 people who wore costumes, but the number of people who wore costumes has increased to 15. The thief who stoled his CD pretended to be a person who worked in the costume. This book was a slightly longer for me, but the story was like solving the riddle(謎解きin Japanese), so it was interesting reading it.  I want people who like solving the riddle to read this book. Thank you.

 I read the book, the title is The Newspaper Chase . Harry is the thief.He stoled a million-dollar painting from the art gallery. He had a room in Mrs.Allen's rooming house. He hided the painting in a newspaper and put it under his bed. In the next morning, it was the paper recycling day, so Janey Allen who was Mrs.Allen's daughter took old newspapers from every room in the house. Of course, she took them from Harry's room. She found the newspaper under his bed, and she put all old newspapers in the black box, then she gave it to the waste collector. This book was a  fast-paced book and easy to fellow, so I enjoyed reading it. However, It ended all too simply, so I felt little unsatisfactory. I would like to try a slightly longer book!! Thank you.

 I read the book, title is Julia Roberts . As referred in the title, this book talked about Julia Roberts, she is a famous actress. She is smart and beautiful and many people love her movies.  Her father and mother worked hard in a school for young actors, but they didn't have much money. Then, they got a divorce, and 5years later, his father suddenly died. She had a nice time in high school. After graduating from high school, she moved to New York where her sister, Lisa and her brother, Eric lived. Eric was an actor. He recommended Julia when the director was looking for an actress with a small role. That became her turning point to start working as an actress. When I first saw her smile in the pictures in this book, I never thought she had a hard time. From this book, I learned that nobody knows what will happen to our life. I enjoyed reading this book😆 Thank you.

William comes from a very important family, and his grandmother is Queen Elizabeth the Second. Kate comes from a very different family. One is from a royal family, and the other is not. In this book, how they grew up, how they met, and how they got married were written in detail. I know their name but I didn't know them in detail, so this book gave me new knowledge. Also, there were a lot of pictures from their youth to their wedding. That helps me to understand the contents clearly. If you have a moment, please read! Thank you😃
