The next morning when the three children were going to play in the barn they saw something strange, the moving thick dusty pile straw, as the children threw water on the straw, there was hissing sound, but the flames went on burning, they supposed that it was one of the trick of Morgan. Miss hepplewhite gave suggestion to the children to make as much noise as they can because morgan didn’t like noise and the cross sign.
               The day passed when the children had made ritual much noise, they thought that morgan was gone, but it certainly not, the next accident happened, Susie got a misterious cake from Morgan,and there was a person named Mr steel  who will build a motorway or a new road which haul the old barn and the last Martha was on spell of Morgan Ie Fay and Morgan kidnapped Martha.William and Susie found Martha’ and they escaped Martha from Morgan, the greatest emotional tension ocurred When Susie and William bravely went to the Morgan house to save Martha, Morgan knew it and wanted to catch them. They ran as fast as posible. But, Morgan still chased them. They ran faster without speaking or looking behind them. They ran to the road, chruch, hospital and bus station.

               William, Susie, and Martha came to the Miss Happlewhite’s house they told about all the story that happened in the hampden stones and they thanked to her because of her help. The barn and the village were safe, because Mr. Steel changed his decision and didn’t want to built a motorway. They lived happily and peacefully.
               Whispering knights story is very good to read not only for children but also adults, the mystery adventure story of the three boys who are very brave and have great curious. This story really evokes the emotions of the readers. In more fully equipped illustrations of images in it that make it easy to understand the contents of the story. One less of this book is that some of parts in this book do not tell the story explicitly about the part why Mr.steel will build motorway through the village. But overall this book is comfortable and nice to read.
