The mysteries of Walker High

Where Is Mr. Zane? (Paperback) ㅣ Walker High Mysteries 9
Robins, Eleanor 지음 / Saddleback Pub / 2006년 8월

워커 하이 스쿨의 미스터리 시리즈. 고등학교들에게 일어나는 다양한 미스터리들을, 쉬운 단어들을 통하여 쉽게 접할 수 있도록 하였다. 어느 날 과학 시험을 보기로 한 제인 선생님이 학교에 오지 않았고, 전화조차 받지 않았다. 그는 어디로 증발한 것일까? 이것이 바로 내가 처음 접한 미스터리이다. 

Well, the mystery was quite simple. I cannot tell you the truth, but I can tell that it wasn't the kidnapping of alien or he was the spy of another countries. However, I could feel something strange while the students tried to find Mr.Zane for their next class. I thought a lot of times, and the conclusion was too simple to accept. 

Well, it was really a simple book, but it also gave me some exciting feelings. I hope next books would be more fun.

The PTA president making plot

My Weird School Daze #1: Mrs. Dole Is Out of Control! (Paperback) ㅣ My Weird School Daze 1
Gutman, Dan / Harpercollins Childrens Books / 2008년 4월

A.J의 이상한 학교 이야기 시리즈.언제나 재미있게 봐 왔으며, 아마도 이 책이 우리 집에 있는 네 권의 시리즈 중 마지막이 될 것 같다. A.J와 친구들은 이제 졸업을 한다. 그렇지만, 엉뚱하게도 학부모들이 아이들의 졸업을 축하한답시고 전혀 마음에 들지 않는 분위기를 만들고 말았다. 이들은 어떤 일을 겪게 될 것인가? 

Mrs.Dole and the PTA made children really hard. PTA means Parents who Talk A lot, so these parents would prepare a lot of things that students will never like. They make fireworks, and made zoo for the children. I know that students would wanted to take their own time, but the parents doesn't think so. 

There were also fights between people, and many accidents during these last day. However, I could check how students and teachers make their time funny. And the A.J's saving time is also ended, too! They couldn't control the party, but this would be a good memory for them.

Coach Hyatt making a football team

My Weird School Daze #4: Coach Hyatt Is a Riot! (Paperback) ㅣ My Weird School Daze 4
Gutman, Dan / Harpercollins Childrens Books / 2008년 12월

미국에서 풋볼은 상당히 인기있는 종목이다. 미국이 월드컵에서 큰 위상을 떨치지 못하는 것이 아니라 안하는 것이라 하는 이유는, 바로 미식 축구가 발달하여 영국식 축구보다 미식 축구를 더 선호하기 때문이다. 럭비공을 잡아들고 전장과 같은 곳을 누비는 이러한 경기를, 초록 학교의 코치는 어쩌면 망치고 있는지도 몰랐다. 

Coach Hyatt was woman. So, a woman coach? I don't really care, but it is different if she or he is crazy. I can't really tell her crazy, but she is strange. She wants students to be supermen! She makes them raise up the car, and give them hell-training. And even she tries to take girls to the team. This was only the start of disaster. 

It was a hard time to take times with this mad coach, but I think they had quite funny times with her. When she swallowed whistle and going to die, the hero, A.J saved her life. A.J, the hero of these books series always save the life of people although he doesn't want to do that. So, this football game with girls were quite fun, too.

니콜라스의 가족들이 벌이는 엉뚱한 사건

My Brother's Famous Bottom (Paperback)
제레미 스트롱 지음 / Puffin / 2007년 1월

제레미  스트롱의 시리즈가 떴다. 물론 줄거리도 제대로 파악하지 못할 그런 오락가락한 책이지만, 니콜라스의 가족들이 벌이는 엉뚱한 사건, 사고들이 독자들을 이끄는 것만 같다. 처음 만난 니콜라스 가족들은 과연 무슨 일을 벌일까? 

Well, Nicholas' father started first. He is one of the most unexpected person in the world. He said he can't raise Cheese and Tomato(Actually they are twin baby, and their real name are James and Rebecca.) anymore because he don't have any money, and he said he will sell the twin. Mother said no, then he made a plan to make a farm. His plan was to make food themselves and enjoy them of their own. 

Well, it was really funny while reading the funny family's accident. Next, Cheese, actually James could make a advertisement. Did you see the advertisement that take part in babies? I think they will make a lot of money, and Cheese did. Now I am expecting more funny stories for next series.

Pippi in the South Seas

삐삐 롱스타킹 시리즈, 그 중 제 2권. 부모 없이 혼자 지내는 삐삐가 이번에는 혼자가 아닌, 그녀의 사라졌던 아버지와 함께 돌아왔다. 삐삐는 아빠가 카니발 왕이 되었다고 믿고서 그렇다고 말하고 다녔는데, 다시 그녀에게 돌아온 아버지는 정말로 한 섬에 도착해 그곳의 왕이 되어 있었다. 다시 아버지가 살던 캐니-캐니 섬으로 돌아가게 된 삐삐의 새로운 모험들이 시작된다.  

Pippi went to the Canny Canny Islant with her two friends, Tommy and Annika and her father, to meet the new family of her father. Pippi's super power was a great help to the children in the Island. There were several sharks, but she threw them away, and two pirates came but Pippi teached them that running away is much better. 

Pippi has a strange characteristics, so she didn't want to miss the white-Christmas day. So she went to her hometown again with her white friends. She had to say good-bye to her father, because he had to protect the island. 

Pippi's new advanture will be much funnier than this, I think. The super-powered girl's jobs are reallly great.
