I am Tom from Canada and reading is my favorite. I can read both French and English books. The Mysterious Stranger(神秘陌生人) is one of the most exciting books I have ever read. It is very funny and it will make you laugh out loud.
The story happens in New York, America and it’s all about a man called Harry who meets a stranger one day while eating his lunch in a park. The stranger Mervin changes Harry’s life forever successfully. I won’t tell you how—you will have to read the story yourself to find out. Mervin has special magic (魔法), but he uses the magic only when Harry gets into trouble which he often does.
It’s not difficult to read the book. It moves at a fast pace (节奏) and lots of things happen on every page so you won’t get bored reading it. Though you might get a bit tired of Harry as he seems to never learn his lesson and keeps on making the same mistakes. I won’t tell the ending for you, but if you enjoy a good mystery and a good laugh, you will completely enjoy this book.
Mr. First has written two other books called The Lonely Child and Whispering Mountain. But I think this book is his best. I highly recommend (推荐) Mysterious Stranger to you!
