ISBN:9781529013085 作者:M.G. Leonard & Sam Sedgman 出版社:Macmillan Children's Books 出版时间:2020 阅读时间:2024.3.30~4.6 编号:517

花了一周多的时间看完这一本,和上一本在火车上的案件一样,都是节奏快的破案小说。 主人公Hal从对火车和旅程的不屑一顾,到这一次的满心期待,内心发生了很大的变化。这一次,在上车之前,他已经有不祥的预感(好像金田一啊哈哈)而列车上果然有事情发生了,还是性质恶劣的绑架。

与车上认识的Mason和Hadley两兄妹一起,他们发现了很多的线索。同时也有好几位嫌疑人。通过不断的探查,最后得出了惊人的结论——绑架案的主谋竟然是被绑架的小孩子自己!事情的发展,又有了恶化的迹象。

阅读这本外版的童书,速度好像比上一本要快。可能是人物背景熟悉了。这个在火车上的案件系列,猫头鹰书店的共读目前只开了前两本,后面的我会看吗?不确定,哈哈。

#20240401打卡 预计阅读:p1-20 实际阅读:p1-36 难忘的表述: Traveling changes you. Marvelling at new places is an important part of that. It makes you think about different ways of living. (p19) 感想:新的火车旅程开始了,英美对于薯片的用词差异有点好笑哈哈。

#20240402打卡 预计阅读:p37-57 实际阅读:p37-69 难忘的表述: 1. He and uncle Nat were friends. They shared a love of trains.No other adult treated Hal with the respect his uncle did – not even his parents. (p37) 2. When I was in the middle of the case, I felt that weird things – invisible things – were happening around me. (p51) 感想:哇开始上悬疑色彩啦。Hal 的侦探触角长起来了!(有点像金田一对事件发生的不安预感哈哈)

#20240403打卡 预计阅读:p70-90 实际阅读:p70-98 难忘的表述: 1. Disconnecting from normal life is one of the most appealing things about traveling. (p74) 2. It seems to know what I want to know before I know it myself. (p75) 3. It was comforting to be so far from home yet see something familiar. (p82) 感想:主角的预感果然没错,事情还是发生了!这段开始看得比较顺了。(可能是刺激的剧情激发了一点阅读能力)

#20240404打卡 预计阅读:p99-119 实际阅读:p99-128 难忘的表述: 1. They say if you stop thinking about a problem, it solves itself. (p122) 2. All magic is misdirection,. The performance is everything. (p125) 感想:又到了看谁都觉得可疑的环节了~

#20240406打卡 预计阅读:p149-169 实际阅读:p149-179 难忘的表述: 1. He tried to notice not only what was in front of him, but also what he wasn't seeing.(p159) 2. Nothing wrong with being wrong.(p174) 3. Do you know what it is that makes good guys good? They defeat the bad guys by sticking to the rules. And that's hard. (p174) 感想:无论出于什么目的,也不能用错误甚至是犯法的方式去达到自己的目的。舅舅教育得很好。

Magic is a harmless lie, one that everyone involved agrees to, including the audience. When you go to a magic show, you want to be tricked.(p207) 感想:小伙伴们已经找到了很多零散的线索,但现在还没有办法串联在一起。 两个小孩的爸爸真的是个活宝。
