#01 MrMystery __ The Mystery Of The Boy Who Never Was

This is the book I read in this weekend,
"Mr Mystery --- The Mystery Of The Boy Who Never Was",written by James Lee.



James Lee (Jim Aitchison, born in 1947 in Australia) is a Singaporean writer.
His Mr Midnight series has captivated young reader since 1998,
with over 1.5 million copies of Mr. Midnight books sold.
These horror fiction had given the young people suspense and horror
and it was sold around the Asian country, such as Malaysia, Singapore, Hong Kong, Vietnam...
became the current trend in 2006

9. headquartes --- (n) a place from which an organization or a military is controlled; the people who work there 总部
10. beamed --- (adj) having beams of wood 有木梁的
Of course there are more vocabulary in this book but I just type the fews out.



Furthermore, I have also learnt many of description of people's costume, such as
"His gel-sticked hair was always cut very short at the sides, which seemed to make his ears stick out. And because his hair sprouted up from the top of his head, he looked a bit like a carrot." ,
"Rafe was wearing a striped polo tee with his brand new low-rise indigo wash jeans."
These funny descreption of people was so lively and made the story more real, let the readers have more imagination about the character in the story.



The story is about a mystery  of a boy who named Justen but he was a boy that was not existed in the world and he was the boyfriend of Sabrina Sim from a rich family. Mars Wong was suspicious with the boy and having the investigators with her friends from the SOH & CO INVESTIGATORS, Alvin, Sinchita, Azizul,Rafe and more, because of their case to search for a stolen car. The purpose of Justen to close with Sabrina is to steal the ancient silver bowl which has magical power to make food into gold from her father. Then, the Sabrina anf her father was in the dangerous. The vicious criminal called The Shark was the one who controlled Justen to steal the bowl. Last, they are all saved and the boy who never was was Ricky and not Justen.

This book is so excited, excited and excited! I like the way of James Lee writing for these horror story, but Mr Mystery is more about investigate. The story is so complication and make the readers have desire to read it. :)))
