The Black Pearl

by Mandy Loader

Jack looked at his watch. It would be four hours before the train arrived in Seoul. He suggested telling ghost stories. A woman volunteered. She stared at Jack. Her dark eyes were strange and not very friendly. Suddenly, she asked Jack if he believed in ghost. Jack laughed and said of course not. She looked at each one of the young people. Jack’s hands and feet were suddenly cold. His friends were uncomfortable too. They all looked down at the floor. What kind of horrifying story did make her so mysterious?

It’s actually a really nice story. My class is reading this so obviously I had to also. It’s short but it tells a lot.

i think that i like this book because it't so excitied and a lot of secret. it's so funny. Lsobel have to find answer that why Young-mi hate and followed her. And she's so scared because her parents didn't tell about The Black Pearl to her.
Ant then she want to know that why Young - mi want to kill her?? so she have to go to Cheju-do because Young -mi said she have to go there if she didn't go Young-mi will kill her.So she goes there and finding story about Young-mi.Finally she meets Li Nam-Su and ask about Young-mi story.He can tell about Young-mi story very clear because he's her brother.And then she bring The Black Pearl back to Young-mi 's mother and Young-mi is gone. it's so excitied and funny to me.i'm really enjoy this book. i really like this story.
