‘The Mystery of the Runaway Ghost’

             

I read my third book in English last week! When I was in Brazil, I had already read two books in English; one of them is the classic: ‘The Little Prince’. However, when one book is been reading in a native English country, the atmosphere helps a lot.

             

The book that I read was: ‘The Mystery of the Runaway Ghost’. It tells the story of four brothers who used to live alone in a boxcar. Now they have a home with their grandfather, and they are trying to catch a runaway ghost! When they visit their friend Fran, they can’t wait to hear her tell the story of the runaway ghost and about a treasure. The runaway ghost is a cow which was painted for a mysterious artist. No one knew that the picture of the cow had been painted by the most famous artist, so the painting was really valuable. After solving a riddle, they help Fran to sell the painting  and she solves her financial problems.

                This book was created by Gertrude Chandler Warner. Though  the book was developed to teen I enjoyed reading because its vocabulary is easy to be understood.
