Summary:

    Tom and Milly are staying at Manor Hall with Uncle Henry. Henry leads the way into Manor Hall. Henry says ‘This is the music room’ and ‘Do Not Enter.’ However Tom and Milly open the door of the music room and goes in. On one wall there is a very big picture of a ship and a pirate. Suddenly the pirate comes out of the picture and into the music room. His name is William Bones. He have something to tell their. He wants to go back to the sea. Tom says ‘Our new house is in a beautiful place near the sea, and ‘From my bedroom I can hear the seagulls and the wave. Come with us. We can put your picture in the breakfast room where you can see the sea.’ Tom and Milly take the picture to their new house by the sea. One day when there is a full moon . . . his ship disappears.

 

Key points about the book:

    The book’s key point is that Tom and Milly were told to ‘Do Not Enter, ‘but they enter into the music room. When we are told not to enter, we become all the more eager to go.

 

My opinion:

    This book is very easy to read, because there is no hard English word used in this book. There is no past tense even used in the book. I think that the same as Japanese version is how to rest in peace. It is interested.
