Reading Practice A. Read the passage. My Favorite Book The title of this book is A Castle's Mystery. It is based on something that happened a long time ago. The main character is a female medical student. She promises to discover a cure for a terrible disease that is spreading across southern Russia. The source of the cure is in a castle deserted by an ancient prince. While she is working on the cure, a thief who is her enemy tries to steal her work. The clever woman fights to survive when the thief tries to kill her. She finally gets her work back, which allows her to save many lives. I think both kids and adults will like this book. In my opinion, the only problem with this book is its length. It is very long, but it is still a great book. The quality of the writing is excellent.
