A Journey That Never Ends

It was a story about the mystery of the name, Allegra. The mystery was that every little girl who was called Allegra was born on January twenty-first. And all suffered from a strange illness when they were five years old and three months old. Was it just a coincidence? Maybe you would find out after you read it. I supposed it was a real story and a true experience that accompanied the author since he stayed at Villa Henderson when he was at the age of only 17. Therefore, the author was brave, because he wasn’t afraid of ghosts and liked to share his special experience with others. He wanted to convey the concept that people didn’t need to see spirits as monsters. Though some stories might be scary, they had the same minds and feelings as humans do.

I think it is definitely a valuable reading stories for everyone to enjoy it. Especially for those who enjoy guessing and thinking when they are reading a book. Though it might be a little bit scary at the first time when Adrian, the writer, met Allegra at midnight. As the story developed, it started to become attractive. I even wanted to read twice.
