After I read this book, I got more interested in space. There were many things which I didn't know, so I was able to read this book with interest. I think that this book is worth reading because the readers learn a lot of things about space. I want to travel in space someday, but I don't want to be an astronaut because of hard training. I strongly recommend to read this book.

THE GHOST TEACHER
Title:THE GHOST TEACHER
Author:Tony Bradman
Publisher(level): Random House(2.5)
Summary:
Class Three are the worst class at this school. They do lots of crashing and bashing, nose-picking and flicking, fighting and fidgeting. Miss Nicely is Class Three's teacher. She was trying to do what she did best―teaching Class Three all sorts of interesting stuff. But she couldn't control this class. She couldn't stand Class Three, and suddenly left this class. Miss Shade is The Ghost Teacher, and saw the condition of Class Three. She appeared the members of this class. They were surprised by her appearance. She showed them a vision of Class Three and Miss Nicely working at home. Then they gradually came to feel ashamed. Finally they surrendered, and asked Miss Shade to help them get Miss Nicely back. Miss Shade agreed, and Miss Nicely came back. The whole of Class Three apologized to her. Miss Nicely opened her eyes, and smiled. She wasn't complaining anymore. As long as there is a class misbehaving somewhere, there is no rest for The Ghost Teacher.
Evaluation 3stars
This book is very easy for me to read. There are words which I don't know, but this book has many pictures, so I can read this book easily. Also the content of this book is funny.
Though ghost appears, it is very important in the story, so it makes the story more interesting. But this story is a little typical for me. Yet I want to read it again. So I evaluate this book 3stars.

First, this story is very funny. For example, aliens speak languages, help people, a dog talk with people, and so on. Second, this story is not realistic, but I think the world may become like this some day. However, there were also English words which wasn't on the dictionary, and I can't understand those words.
