Niagara Falls, Or Does It? #1 (Paperback) ㅣ Hank Zipzer 1
Henry Winkler, Lin Oliver 지음 / Grosset & Dunlap / 2004년 2월
평점 :
산지는 오래되었지만, 그동안 재미없어보여서 오랫동안 읽지 않았던 책.(정확히 말하자면, 단어도 잘 모르고 책 속의 영어로 나온 유머도 이해하지 못했기 때문이라 할 수 있다.)이 책의 진가를 이제서야 발견하고 읽게 된 게 참 안타까울 따름이다. 내용은 미국의 한 사고뭉치 소년의 이야기이다. 언제나 사고만 잔뜩 몰고 다니는, 일명 재앙의 소년. 그런 그의 이야기의 첫머리를 읽으면서부터 웃음이 뿜어져 나오기 시작했다.
Have you ever been to Niagara Falls? I saw it only for pictures, and I felt maginifience from it. It can fill the Grand Canyon in 40 minutes. And if a person is standing right under the fall, it can even kill him. And in last summer vacation, Hank went to the Niagara! It was a nice trip, I'm sure. However, Hank is always make disasters. Even the beginning of school, he was late for school. Maybe it's not the first time that he was late for school. Now principle Love is getting angry at Hank and his teacher in charge feel nervous about him so gave him some homework. That homework is Hank's worst homework. Because he really hate to write paragraphs.
He had a nice idea for that. He will show Ms. Adolf, his teacher how was his trip in Niagara Falls with his tongue and miniature! It was a good idea, but too much water made the class whole wet. Now Hank is a trouble maker to whole school. And principle Love gave him detention for two weeks, too! However, a good teacher, Mr.Rock told his parents about him well and he could keep well his two detention weeks.
It was a nice time to keep reading about story, Hank Zipzer. I'm sure some of grown-up will hate him, but many people are excited about his adventure. I like his wit, too. I'm going to put down the next quire an open.
