What I Have Learned English 6

I’ve read three books in English so far. I have never heard of any of these books before. First, I read “Railway Children”. It’s a family-style book that takes place in the 1900s. The father of three middle school aged children named Roberta, Peter, and Phyllis, is taken away by the police. Their mother and the three children have to relocate to the town of Yorkshire, with their home near a railway. The children love the railway and watching the trains that pass by. The story is basically about trying to find out who did the crime to help their father get out of jail. Second, I read “Hans Brinker or the Silver Skates”. The story takes place in the Netherlands and is about the Brinker family. The Brinker children, Hans and his sister, Gretel, did many different jobs to help pay for medicine for their very sick father. Now, I am reading “The Cat of Bubastes”. A historical fiction book written by G.A. Henty. It is the story of a young prince who becomes a slave when the Egyptians conquer his people, then bad things start to happen when his master accidentally kills a sacred cat, known as the Cat of Bubastes. I am still finishing the book and look forward to finding out what happens!
