I read the book" Kidnap!". I summarize the story.
It was winter. Tom lived in America as a cartoonist. One day, he went out
with his car to find topics for his work. Firstly, he went to a coffee shop in a bookstore. Then he noticed that some white paper fell from a man's hand. He picked it up. He tried to give it to the man, but he could not. Tom found a map in the paper and he put it into his coat. When he got a cup of coffee, there was a woman with red hair near him. He tried to draw her with the paper. After that, he saw the woman standing in front of her car. She said to him that her car had been broken. She asked him to lend his cell phone and then they saw the paper. Tom told her about the men in the bookstore. He thought that a kidnap plan was written in the paper. There was the mark of high school in the paper. The woman's name was Rita. Tom wanted to know the high school to tell the police, so Rita tried to help him find the place. That's why they began to find the high school with his car before someone was kidnapped. At the same time, in Boston a famous movie star and her daughter left their house to go the high school. The movie star's name was Jodie-Anne and her daughter name was Anastasia. When they dropped at a gas station, Tom realized that the men wanted to kidnap Anastasia from a magazine. He told about that to Rita and then her face turned scary. She had a gun in her hand and dug it into him. She was a member of the kidnap group. Rita said that she and the men would kidnap Anastasia and ask her mother for three million dollars. Rita also asked tom to drive. After driving for ten minutes, Tom stopped behind a blue van. There Rita met the men. Just then, a big black car was coming to them. Tom was entered into the van by them. There were Jodie-Anne and Anastasia in the car. Suddenly, everything happened. Rita and the men kidnapped Anastasia. One of the men was Joe and the other was Max. Joe was shot by her bodyguard. However, Rita and Max took her away with the van. Her bodyguard couldn't stop the van. They drove at high speed, but the van skied on the ice and snow. Tom and Anastasia got a chance to get away from them. When they ran away, Max could not get out of the van. Rita found them. Tom jumped on Rita and knocked the gun from her hand. They ran very fast and Rita also followed them. Tom and Anastasia managed to cross an old bridge, but Rita fell into the river. She couldn't swim. Though she was killer, Tom tried to help her. When he tried to do that, many police officers came. Tom was suspected of being a kidnapper by police officers, but Anastasia told them the truth. Finally, they could go home. Tom was happy that he could get great ideas for his comic strip.
This book is level 1 and it is almost comic. However, it was too long for me and made me tired. This story is too unbelievable to enjoy. Though I said so, I will try to read comic books like this!!
