（C）The Windy Day
Book Report By Jason Ma (8A) Title: The Windy Day Writer: Alisha Wood The reason for my choice:
The idea of a recent popular film comes from one of Alisha Wood’s stories. The story interests me. Summary of the book:
It is about what happens to a little boy named Daniel on a windy day. One day, Daniel is flying his kite on Peace Hill. Suddenly, a strong wind blows up the hill and lifts Daniel right off his feet. Daniel holds on to his kite tightly and is blown into the clouds. Finally he lands in a small town with a sign, “Nowhere: The Town Nobody’s Ever Heard Of”. This worries Daniel.
He asks people around where Nowhere is. But all of them say, “Nowhere. Nobody knows.” He tries hard to find out the way home but he cannot. It is like an adventure until he comes across the King. Daniel talks to him and he decides to help Daniel. He claps his hands twice. A great wind comes up and pulls the kite, along with Daniel, into the clouds and back to Peace Hill.
Comment (评论):
The story is so amazing that I could not stop reading it. I admire (钦佩) Daniel because he is such a brave boy who tries hard to solve the problems in a strange place.
