☆TAKE A GOOD LOOK☆

I read Take a Good Look this week. I expected funny story from its book cover, but actually it was quite serious. So, I think illustration on cover is very important.

Mary is almost blind girl(she hates to be called like that...). She can see a bit, but she needs to get very very close to the things she wanna see. That's why, her dad, mum and grandma worry her too much and they treat her as a baby. Of course she cannot go out by herself and had to keep staying on her bed all day. She was feeling fed up. So, one day she tried to go to a nearby shop by herself to get coke, chocolate and crisp which she didn't allow to ear though she loved them a lot. While her grandma fell asleep, the plan carried on!

After she bought everything she wanted and she nearly got out of the shop, two men burst into the shop. She fell down on the floor. The man shouted, "Don't move! This is a hold-up!" They told a shopkeeper to give them money. The shopkeeper resisted, but he gave them money finally. The robbers tried to escape, but one man took Mary with them. She was kidnapped! The other man insisted that they shouldn't take her, but he didn't hear him.

They went back to man's flat. They spent whole day there. Mary was thinking of her escape from there. The chance came. When she was in bathroom, she got outside. The man was following her, but she ran and ran as fast as possible to escape from them. Then she found bar and went there for help. The lady there found out that Mary was the kidnapped girl and she called the police. The police came and she described the robber clearly. So, after that they were arrested. Mary was praised as a clever girl by the police and her family. Her family was so glad to see Mary. That night, her family told her that they wouldn't treat her like a baby anymore. Mary was happy to hear that, but she didn't want to go out by herself anymore.

Mary is very brave and clever girl though she cannot see well. Her behavior while she was kidnapped was amazing. She was also tough. This time, she knew that there are a lot of dangers in the world which she's never known. She learned new thing, also her family knew that Mary had grown up a lot. I think everything will be fine from now. Much better.
