I thought this book was serious story when before read this book. But after reading this book, very interesting for me.
This book is a story of a ghost and four students. Four student, Frankie, Regan, Jack and Tom are same school and same club. They examined old airfield at the Second World War.
They met a ghost when they examined old airfield. The ghost name is Glen Loosthawk. He was a Royal Air Force's pilot.
Glen wanted them to find the secret at that time. Therefore, he showed up in front of them.
At last, four students found the secret for old airfield. Was Glen satisfaction? I don't know. However, I felt sad for Glen.
This story mixed with the past and present, it was difficult to understand.

English language school in the heart of the Japanese Alps, and English language learners sharing their experiences online. Teachers post regular items about teaching, learning tools, events in the school, their day to day experiences living & working in a foreign country. Students post on whatever takes their fancy - book reports, festivals in home towns, postcards from business trips etc. A little Brit of England in the guts of Japan!

Noriko,
ReplyDeleteThanks for the posting - sounds like an interesting story.
There a lot of disused WWII airfields in England, which often feel a bit eerie; if you listen carefully I am sure you can hear the roar of old Rolls Royce aero-engines and laughter of young men who never came back...
I guess in that way England and Japan are different, as Japan never really conducted the war from mainland bases. I am sure there are a lot of Pacific islands with their own ghosts though.
