6. Reading: "Carrie by Stephen King" 📖
Carrie is a quiet girl who feels different from other students. Many classmates are unkind to her, and she often feels lonely. However, Carrie has a special ability: she can move objects with her mind. At first, she tries to hide this strange power.
One day, Carrie goes to a school dance. She wants to have a normal and happy evening with her classmates. However, some students play a cruel joke on her, and the night becomes a terrible experience.
The story is exciting and sometimes frightening. Many people like Carrie because it is not only a horror story but also a story about friendship, bullying, and how people treat each other.
I read Carrie last year and found it very interesting. The story was scary, but the characters were memorable. I think it is a good book for people who enjoy mystery and horror stories.
