            Have you ever heard of the story of The Beautiful White Horse? If you haven’t you should read it because it is very funny. So if you know what’s good for you, you would go check it out.

          The characters in this book were very humorous and brave. Their names were: Aryan, his cousin Moored, his uncle Khosrove, and John Bryo. They all were poor and lived in old houses. The setting of this story was in modern time. In the beginning was when Aran was sleeping when he heard a noise. It was Mourad throwing rocks at the window. So Aran got up and went to the window. When he got there he saw Mourad on a beautiful white horse. Aran was shocked! He wondered how Mourad got the money to bye it. Mourad told him to come down to ride it. So he thought and then went down. In the middle of my book Aran is getting on the horse.

          The most exiting part in my book is when Aran tries to ride the horse again, and falls into a garden. At the end of my book Mourad finally tells Aran that he Stoll the horse from John Bryo . So Aran makes Mourad give it back. So he gave the horse back. The conclusion in my book is when Aran tells Mourad that John Bryo’s horse was missing.

          I liked this book because it was funny, and because the characters are about my age. I would recommend this book to a person who likes funny books.
