This book wrote about a beautiful girl Allegra.One day Adrian stayed at one home in Italy and he met Allegra in the midnight.She repeateadly sais bring her to her mother.He thought she is a daughter of this family living this house,but there is another Allegra.

I thought this book is horror and writing about psycho person at first.However,this story made me little happy because Adrian got over the urban legend.His action was surprised me.If I were him,I never act like him.
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.
What seemed to be a harmless stay in the Bed and Breakfast in Italy, after being caught in the rain, Adrian was in for a mystery. In his first night staying there with his parents, he met a five year old child, pale and blue-eyed and weirdly have cold hands. She wanted him to take her to her mother. What's weird is, she wants him to take her to her mother before she died! Her name was Allegra.

The next day, Adrian found the owner's daughter's name was also Allegra but much to his astonishment, it's not the same girl! This girl however wanted to see her father before she die. Creepiness ahead, the night Allegra kept coming to him.

He left only to know months later, the owner's daughter died due to an illness. And she died the same age as show more the night Allegra was.

The experience never left him only to meet another Allegra years after and the Night Allegra came to him again...

The book is short and pretty much a good quick read for me for my spare time. It kept the mystery to the end and pretty much fast pace. The characters and plots pulled you into the story. I love it. It's made for students hence it came with some after reading exercise to do for class or just for themselves in the back. I say it's good enough for students who need some reading done in class.

This is very exciting and interesting!
Because I love mystery novels, ones I read it, I couldn't stop reading.
But I become sad when I think of first Allegra.

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!
Adrian visited Italy with his parents when he was sixteen years old. He stayed at an inn and he met a girl with long blond hair and blue eyes.She gave her name as Allegra and asked him to bring her to her mother.At first,he thought that she was a daughter in that house but she was not Allegra in that house...
I was very amused by this story.I couldn't expect the truth,and when I understood everything,I was convinced her strangeness.I like the end of this story very much because I felt that Allegra could be aided by Adrian.

Adrian met Allegra in his room in the midnight.
Allegra means happy in Italian.
She asked him to take her to mammy.
She had blond hair and cold hands.
I thought it is very sad story,because Allegra could not see her mother.
But the ending is heart-warming.
I respected for Adrian's actions.
