The Indoor pirates' story

The Indoor Pirates on Treasure Island (Paperback) ㅣ Jeremy Strong 32
제레미 스트롱 지음 / Puffin / 2009년 1월

제레미 스트롱의 특별한 이야기에 등장하는 특별한 인물들. 이들이 재미있게 풀어나가는 다양한 이야기들은, 나를 즐겁게 하기에 충분했다. 두 명의 쌍둥이와 세 명의 건장한 어른이 집안에서 펼쳐나가는 해적놀이. 비록 그들의 배는 육지에 있을지라도, 그들의 바다를 가르는 투혼은 그대로 살아있다! 

Yes, you can say that they are crazy. Because, the indoor pirates are not real pirates. Pirates must steal people's properties on the ocean. However, they can't do that because they are only brave when they meet a person easy to deal with. Although they are so extraordinary, I know they are quite simple-hearted. 

They looks dangerous, but they were funny and absurd. And when they tried to find a treasure, their house was destroyed because it bumped in their house. However, they could sit on money cushion because there were a lot of money. This funny pirates finally achieved their object! 

It was a short stories about indoor pirates, but they made me funny enough. I hope Jeremy Strong to write more funny stories to read.

The missing pictures

Art Show Mystery (Paperback) ㅣ Walker High Mysteries 1
Robins, Eleanor 지음 / Saddleback Pub / 2006년 8월

This time, Paige tried to join a art show mystery. There were too many mysteries in walker high schools, and I convicted that it was happened by someone else. Well, my guess was quite wrong. It was just a fault of teachers and students. They changed room numbers, and they corrected them after Paige took her painting in room 19. She thought it was room 19, but it was room 15. The number was changed, and Paige thought her painting was missing. 

Well, my guess was incorrected, but this story was quite interesting. I realized that small reverse can treat people well. I should think many people couldn't catch that the room number can be changed. 

The art show mystery was fun, too. I hope to read another walker high school mysteries series, too.

The missing test, betray

The Missing Test Mystery (Paperback) ㅣ Walker High Mysteries 6
Robins, Eleanor 지음 / Saddleback Pub / 2006년 8월

 

워커 하이 스쿨에서는 꽤 다양한 일이 발생한다. 배반, 작은 실수, 음모 등으로 인해서 친구들 사이에 불화가 얼마든지 생겨날 수 있으니 말이다. 이번 작은 미스터리는, 바로 미식 축구 선수인 칼의 역사 시험지가 사라진 것이다. 그것이 무슨 문제냐고? 칼에게 있어서는 매우 큰 문제였다. 대부분의 운동 선수가 그러하듯, 그 또한 공부를 잘 하지 못했다. 특히 역사 시험이 문제였는데, 결국 그는 재시험의 기회를 얻게 된다. 하지만, 그가 잘 봣음을 자부했음에도 그의 시험지가 사라지고 만다. 그의 시험지를 그가 훔쳐간 것일까? 아니면, 다른 사람이 그가 경기에 진출하지 못하도록 벌인 일이었을까? 

This was about a betray. There must be several players who wants to join the match. So, Vince had to make Carl not to join the game to go there. So he stealed Carl's test, and wanted him not to join the game by the test. Mr.Zane saw Carl in teacher's room, but it didn't tell Carl was a victim. 

Finally, Carl made Vince to took Carl's test. Carl could join the match, but Vince couldn't join football match forever when he was in Walker High school. This was a sad ending of a player, but it was clearly his fault. So, I'm so glad that Carl could solve his problem well.

Dragon, the magical creature

How to Train Your Dragon (Paperback) ㅣ How to Train Your Dragon 1
크레시다 코웰 지음 / Little Brown & Co / 2010년 2월

드래곤이란 것은, 동서양이나 모두 존재하는 바이다. 물론, 그 생김새는 꽤 다르다. 동양의 용은 뱀처럼 매우 기다란 형태이고, 서양의 용은 몸체가 거대하고 마치 공룡을 연상시키는 생김새이기 때문이다. 하지만 둘다 마법적인 동물이고, 모든 동물 중에서 가장 위대하다고 여겨진다. 하지만, 이 책에서 나오는 드래곤은 꽤 다르다. '드래곤 길들이기'란 제목을 봐도 알 수 있지 않은가? 여기서는 특별한 부족이 등장하는데, 바로 주인공 Hiccup이 사는 부족이다. 이들은 마치 바바리안을 연상시키는데, 실제로 용을 훈련시켜서 그 위를 타고다니면서 용맹하게 살아가는 이들이다. 드래곤을 길들인다는 것, 그것은 과연 어떤 일일까? 

Dragon must be a dangerous animal. But if people get the hatchling of dragon, they can treat dragons as their faithful pet. But, it must be a hard work. In this book, dragon is not a magical creature. They have think, strong skin and breath that can kill many lives, but they cannot use their own magic. However, it doesn't change that they are quiet smart and strong creatures. This is why this barbarians have great power. 

The process of Hiccup's advanture was great. He was not a brave boy. He was not strong, and he was even timid. However, there are many stories that lead Hiccup as a hero. He had a lot of problems, but this great timid hero can get a prize from this advantures.

Robert, the insight about aliens

I'm Telling You, They're Aliens! (Paperback) ㅣ Jeremy Strong 1
제레미 스트롱 지음 / Puffin / 2009년 1월

제레미 스트롱의 재미있는 이야기 시리즈들은 계속 이어진다. 수많은 주인공들이 등장하고, 이번 편에서는 항상 겁쟁이라 불리는 한 소년이 등장하니, 그의 이름은 로버트. 학교에서 볼 수 있는 전형적인 겁쟁이의 상징인 그는 항상 어떤 위험이 일어날때를 대비하고 있고, 친구들은 그를 겁쟁이란 뜻의 '치킨 리킨'이라 불렀다. 하지만, 나는 이 로버트라는 소년에 대한 생각이 다르다. 그는 다른 사람들과는 다르게 언제나 발생할 수 있는 작은 위험의 가능성에 대해 무시하지 않는 예민한 사람일 뿐이다. 우리는 그 가능성이 작아 거의 일어나지 않으므로 무시하고 있지만, 로버트처럼 대비하고 있지 않을 때에는 큰 일을 당하게 된다. 

So, Robert was quite right. Although his prophecy was not really accuracy, he found out the strangeness of his neighbors. Yes, he knew they were strange, but he didn't know that exactly, He just thought they were aliens from outer space who are preparing to invade the earth. He was incorrect, but his premotion was not false. They were robbers stealing vaulables from others, and Robert and his friend, Marsha found that. They were caught by police officers, and Robert became new hero at school. 

This story can be real, but it doesn't happen to everyone. I'm sure there will be many children who thinks they found aliens around them. And they try to find out the truth, and sometimes they are disappointed about their result. However, these tries are not false. Although people think they are crazy, they are doing right thing. Because there must be a possibility that aliens are living in our earth.
