Book review (书评) by Jarrad
On the weekend I read a totally amazing book called The Adventures (历险记) of Siegfried and Hannah. It was such a cool book because it was full of magical journeys to many mysterious (神秘的) lands. You never knew where the characters were going to end up next.
The main characters are a boy called Siegfried and his little sister Hannah. They are always ready for a mysterious adventure every time they step out of their door. There are twelve different stories in the book.
What I loved the most was that the main characters were just like real kids. They were the kind of kids that I'd want to be friends with.
I would really recommend that you read this book, especially if you like fairies (仙子), dragons，magic，adventures and surprises. It is the best book that I have read all year. There was nothing I did not like about this book, except that it should have been longer!
