هو نفس الكاتب الذي كتب Sally's phone وهو نفسه الذي كتب rose red لذلك القصة مثل كلاهما لكن هنا البطل مارك الذي يعمل في مركز تسوق كضابط أمن ويعجب بفتاة شعرها أحمر تأتي لتسوق كل أربعاء و يحبط عندما يرى معها طفل ويحبط أكثر عندما يرى معها رجلا ،ولكن صديقاه شامي وليون عزاءه وأخبره ليون أن يأتي معه إلى مرقص وتكون المفأجاة،أن نفس الفتاة التي أراد التعرف عليها ليست متزوجة وقد أتت إلى نفس النادي وتعرف عليها وعرف بأن طفل ليس طفلها وكذلك الرجل الذي أتى هو زوج أختها
نوعا ما أسلوب الكاتب كريستي يشدني أتمنى أن أقرأ له مُجددا في قصة أخرى سواء في مجموعة قصص أكسفورد أو قصة أخرى

كتاب صغير جداً يتكون من 28 صفحة ولكنه يتخلل العديد من الصور والرسومات التوضيحية. الكتاب يهدف لتعليم اللغة الانجليزية للمبتدئين ولكن بطريقة جميلة ومشوقة، برغم قصرها.

I just finished reading a short story called‌
“The Girl with Red Hair.”
It’s the same old story about love at first sight (just kidding), and about thoughts and choices based only on what’s in our minds. The book is for starter level with 250 words. It was simple and fun to read!‌

For me, reading this book was easy and it gave me motivation to try other books from this series with a higher level.
I practice my English every day and get better little by little.
Reading helps me learn new words and speak better.

Will recommend this. The story is quite interesting, about the guy Mark and the love story that needs a right answer. It's easy to read and understand. Diversity words, suit with people who are in beginner at English

In this story, the main character likes one girl but he does't know her name. Did you have same experience like this?
No. I've never had experience like this. But I think it is romantic.

I like happy ending story, so I could enjoy reading this book.

Lo leí con mi hermano chico porque tiene prueba mañana y la historia es pésima, pero rescato que entendió absolutamente todo lo que leímos, así que 10/10 en ese sentido.

I like the book. It was an easy read. A cute innocent love story. Love at the first sight for the boy, but how about the girl? Does she feel the same way?
