Hello, everyone. I’m Nancy and I like reading. On road trips, I always take some books to keep myself busy. These are four of my favorite books.

The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night Time

This children’s book is interesting, exciting, sad and happy all at the same time and makes you think seriously. It tells the story of a 15-year-old boy with autism (自闭症). The book opens a window into his world, his thoughts, his hopes and his dreams.

Matilda

It’s now a film and show at the theater, but we can’t forget the book. Matilda is about a cute little girl who is very clever and loves to read. She goes to school and meets the very scary Miss Trunchbull, but thankfully makes friends with a kind teacher. The book will make you cry one moment and laugh the next.

Charlotte’s Web

Charlotte’s Web tells the story of friendship (友谊) between a pig and a spider (蜘蛛). It’s a simple story but it teaches us about love, life and death (死亡). If you haven’t read it, give it a try.

The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe

I read the book, watched the film and listened to the tape. The exciting story happens in a place called Narnia. As you read it, you’ll feel like you’re really there. You’ll lose yourself in the adventures (冒险经历) of the four children and the characters they meet.
