BR2 The Nutcracker

I will recommend a book "The Nutcracker."
This is a story about a girl Clara who got a strange present on Christmas Eve by her godfather. He always be able to happen something magical.
After the Christmas party, Clara went to her bed room. But she could not sleep because she was thinking about her presents. Finally she went to downstairs and she opened a present from godfather.Inside, she found a Nutcracker looks like a soldier. After that, she got sleepy then she was fast asleep under the Christmas tree with the Nutcracker.
She got up and looked around the room, there were some strange. The tree became sooo big and most of things in the room became bigger. She met a prince who looks like the Nutcracker and he called a lot of soldiers. Without notice, there were many mousses in the room then they started to fight! The Nutcracker Prince fought with the Mouse King. The Mouse King was so strong and he almost caught a won. But, Clara helped the Nutcracker Prince with her shoes! She threw it as hard as she could at Mouse King's head. He fell down on the the floor. Clara and the Nutcracker Prince were glad then they went to the trip to celebrate about their victory. They arrived at a Land of White Snow. They met an Ice Queen and she led them to her icy palace. There were eight ballerinas dancing with dressed in silver and white. Clara and the Nutcracker Prince saw their beautiful dance then the dance party end, it was a time to go.
Next, they arrived at the Land of Sweet! In this land, everything were made of sweets. Clara was surprised! The door opened and a fairy came to meet them. The Nutcracker introduced to Clara about her. "She is the Sugarplum Fairy and she is a leader of the Land of Sweets!" The Sugarplum Fairy led them into a grand hall. They sat on the chair which made of raspberry mousse then the dances started! They appeared each country; chocolate from Spain, coffee from Arabia and tea from China. As last of dance, they dressed as flowers. They performed a slow waltz for Clara. After that, it was time to go home. They said good bye sadly and Clara and the Nutcracker rode on the sleigh. Clara was so tired so she fell asleep next to him.
When she got up, she was under the Christmas tree in the room alone. She was sad that she was in just a dream. But the message tag that her godfather had attached to the Nutcracker said "I hope this protect you." Clara thought that it was not just a dream!!
