The book beginning with Jess's training to become his classroom's fasterst runner race. However, Leslie Burke a new girl actually defeated Jess in the running race. Jess's dislike of Leslie for this reason soon disappears though because Leslie an intelligant, imaginative, outgoing girl brought passion for her, and they are became friends.
One day Jess and Leslie ran to the empty field behind Leslie's house. It was sunny autumn day, Jess leaning back and enjoying the bright sky.

The short story titled The magic shop by H.G Wells is an interesting fiction story. This story tells a lot of unique new things. Besides the interesting things I also found moral values like: 1. The intelligent parents will understand how to protect and give everything what their son need. 2. Always listen to exprert. They will tell You what can't be done and why then do it. 3.
