      Adrian stayed at the Henderson's house on his trip. He met a five-year-old girl, Allegra, who had black hair and brown eyes. But, in the night, he saw a little girl whose name is Allegra. In fact, there was a big secret...This story is thrilling and exciting, but little sad. First I was little scared because Allegra was a ghost, but at last I was happy because her dream came true. In the ending of this story, everyone became happy, so I'm happy, too!

      One night, a man found a beautiful little girl in his room locked completely. She said her name was Allegra, a five-year-old girl. And, she asked him to take her to her mother in Bagno a Ripoli, Italy. Since that night, her mysterious visit began.This story was so interesting and easy for me to read that I finished without taking a rest. I especially like the second Allegra of four. She was unhappy girl and died unhappily because of blond Allegra's soul, but finally "she" could become happy girl. So, I felt that this story was not only mysterious and scary one, but also kind of heart-warming one.
