Hook
“Sir Francis slashed at him again, nearly taking his head
off, but at the last moment, Red Rackham dodged, and the blade slit the ribbon
hold the pirate’s mask over his face.
The mask fell away as the gunpowder trail burned down the
stairs towards the magazine …
Captain Haddock stopped.
‘What?’ Tintin said. ‘What happened next?’ … ”
Recommendation
Have you ever wondered what it would be like to go on a
treasure hunt? This fictional story is about Tintin, a boy reporter. He travels
around the world in search of the secret treasure of the Unicorn, a pirate
ship. If so, this might be the book for you.
Come join Tintin, his trusty dog Snowy, and comical Captain
Haddock find the treasure. Kids would really enjoy this book, especially if
they have seen the recent movie. I recommend it to all readers, except for
younger children (less than 9 years old). I recommend, as well, the original
comics by Herge. (Please note, parents should know that Captain Haddock always
wants to drink alcohol. He may not be the best role model for younger readers.)
