The Barcelona Game

“Holly Hooper lives in Manchester. She has two brothers, Kev and Trev. Holly is twelve, quiet and loves books.”

 

 I read “The Barcelona Game”.

One September morning, Kev brought the tickets for the Barcelona game. Holly didn’t know about the team of Barcelona, but her brothers were looking forward to it. There were three tickets for the game. However, his dad couldn’t go to game cause of his bad cold. So, Holly went to Barcelona with her brothers. After arriving at the Barcelona, her bag broke and her books fell on the street. After that, she bought one of the Barcelona bags.

They decided to go to Tibidabo for sightseeing but Hooper wanted to go to café and read her book. At the café, a man sat at the next table. He had a Barcelona bag which was same as Holly. Holly read her books and checked her bag soon, so, it was not her bag! It was man’s bag! Suddenly, she pursued the old man with a motorbike driver, Pere. After that, she was able to found the old man and found her bag. Finally, she went to Barcelona game with her brothers, and had fun.

 

I read this book because I like watching soccer game. At first, I thought that this story is about Barcelona soccer’s history, but it is not. This story is a little short, so we can use this book to enhance our speed reading skills.
