Book Review 2-4

I read the book "THE TROY STONE". I summarize this story.
The Jackson family were on holiday in Turkey. They were staying at a big hotel in Istanbul. Mark who was 13 years old and he liked Turkey. It was 9 o'clock in the morning and then they were getting on a bus in front of their hotel. There were forty people on the bus. At Troy they all had lunch and they started to look at the old city. It was very hot day. Mark sat under a tree and then he found something on the ground. It was a flat and yellow stone. Mark pick it up and began to clean it with his hands. Suddenly there was a white light in his eyes and Mark closed eyes. He could not hear and listen anything. Ten second later the light and the wind stopped. Mark opened his eyes and saw hundreds of ships and men. He was standing on a beach then. He thought where he was now. He put the yellow stone in his pocket. He heard his name called by a guy. He asked Mark to work. He also met a guy hose name was Andros. Andros and Mark walked for another ten minutes. At the top they stopped and watched a big wooden horse. Many people worked for making it. Andros said to him that this horse was going to win the war for them Greek. However, they had a problem because they didn't have a stone for the second eye. Mark remembered the stone in his pocket, so he gave it for them. They were happy and asked Mark to come with them in the horse the next night. That evening Mark met an old woman whose name was Ana. He got known lots of stories like Greece, the war and the beautiful princess from her. Next morning the horse was ready. Greek soldiers pulled it the gates of Troy. Mark was sitting in the horse's head and waited all afternoon under the hot. Mark did not know what would happen then. Suddenly the gates opened and Trojan soldiers walked out. They pulled the horse inside and shut the gates again. When Trojan went to bed and Troy was quiet, the Greeks climbed out of the horse. They began to war. A minute later there were thousands of Greek soldiers. The street was full of smoke. Mark run down a small street very fast, but he met two Trojans with swords. Mark shouted for them. He heard his name called by his sister then and suddenly waked up. It was 4 o'clock and the bus was leaving in a minute. Mark tried to look at the yellow stone in his hand, but it was nothing. When Mark went to the bus, he met an old woman. She had lots of small wooden horses in a basket. Mark bought a horse and looked at the woman. She gave him smiles and said goodbye for him.
This story is too short and beyond my capacity. I think Mark is an English boy, but he and Greeks can communicate with English. That is why I don't like this story.
