A thick copy of Harry Potter was held in the hand of Amy's mother. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

"What a great girl. Mom said to Dad, "Look, Jack, look at the thickness, look at the weight! You can believe it, the author of this book is as old as Joanne!"

In the back seat of the car, Amy's sister was upset: "I said Mom, can you not always compare me to that Alice-Wang?

It's east of Los Angeles, and Amy's family is returning home from the bookstore. The parents are sitting in the front row, and the sisters in the back row are just twice as old as each other, Joanne, a sophomore in high school, is almost annoying, and other people's children, there is nothing more annoying than it!

"Mommy, Mommy, show me!"

Amy is also in a mood at this time, she is the one who wants to read the book, how can she be put away by her mother before she even covers it up after she buys it?

"I'll see it when I get home. Amy's mother said, "Your dad is driving a car, and you don't want to see your eyes when you're reading a book?"

Amy immediately snorted unhappily and turned her head out the window, and was actually angry!

Of course, Amy's mother had a point, but she didn't put the book in a bag after all, did she? The beautiful cover was wrapped in clear plastic sheeting, and she was also carefully observing the book's binding design.

It's really beautiful.

The sixteen-page layout, almost an inch thick, is not more than 500,000 words in the propaganda at all.

Moreover, it is really worthy of being a famous author's new product baked by bantams, and the brown paper cover actually has a delicate embossing engraving. The pattern was obviously carefully painted by a master painter, which is quite a kind of style of a certain painting school, but unfortunately she can't distinguish it.

It's like a gilded title, a mysterious and mysterious content introduction, and a textured existence, and the price of thirty dollars is not expensive at all. Think about the effort it takes for the author, Amy's mother thinks to herself that if she were to write something like this outside of work, it would have to torture her to death.

After a while, Amy's family finally returned home. This is a typical middle-class neighborhood, a small two-story house has been bought for five years, and there is still a loan of 120,000 yuan left to be repaid. Fortunately, Amy's father's car was a gift from his father, and although it is a little old now, at least it can leave a lot of money for the family.

"Oh, Mom~"

As soon as she got out of the car, Amy couldn't wait to run to her mother: "Book!

"Look, you're in a hurry. ”

Joanne, who was her sister, looked disdainful.

She doesn't understand, a good high school girl, not honestly in school, what do you do when you have nothing to do outside the company?

"It's all about leaving her idle!"

Joanne went back to the house indignantly, knowing that if she stayed here any longer, her mother would have to compare herself to that Alice-Wang again.

But here, Amy doesn't have that much to think about.

Ran up to the second floor, rushed into his bedroom, and suddenly announced that the magic novel he had been waiting for for a long time was on the market ahead of schedule, how could this not make Amy happy?

It's really unexpected!

Come to think of it, Amy and her mom are both bantam book lovers, so as early as a few months ago, mom told Amy that the genius girl who was the same age as her sister was going to have a school children's magic. Looking forward to it, Amy is called an anticipation, chasing her mother every day to ask when she can see it, so no, she couldn't wait to participate in the book promotion more than a month ago.

Then he made an agreement with a little brother.

Then, there is a new book that will be officially published at the beginning of the next year, why is it advanced!?

Amy was pleasantly surprised, but she didn't bother to think about what kind of conspiracy theory it was, so she picked up the paper cutter and clicked, and in a few clicks, she tore the outer cover to shreds.

"Wow, it feels so good to the touch!"

Then Amy was pleasantly surprised again, the book cover was so beautiful!

"Amy?"

At this moment, the sound of Mom's footsteps came from the stairs.

"Are you in the room?"

Amy, who had just sat down in her chair, jumped down and swished the door open.

"Mommy, Mommy, read to me, read to me!"

Downstairs, my mother walked up unhurriedly: "I knew you were going to let me read, but now that I've just come home, don't you want my mother to cook?"

To be a mother is to understand her daughter, not to mention that she has long since read a few books to Amy.

"Let Daddy cook!" so that's how Amy shouted, "Or we can order a pizza!"

"Ed, do you hear me? Cook tonight, or order a pizza!"

Amy's father's shouts could be heard downstairs.

With dinner done, the mother and daughter began their reading journey. The propaganda says that it is a long magic story of seven books, which is the rhythm of Amy's growth throughout adolescence. Besides, it's not just Amy who wants to read this book, Rita has also been looking forward to Alice Wang's new book for a long time.

Rita had read "Scarlet Fairy Tales" and knew that even if Alice Wong claimed to be writing children's magic, it would certainly not be at the level of "The Little Prince" and "The Wizard of Oz". Of course, there must be some deep ideological cores in famous books, but they are also pure children's stories. Alice's characteristic is that the plot itself is not only limited to children's domains, but also allows adults to enjoy endless fun in simple reading.

Then they turned the first page.

"To my dear sister Hannah, the little fan who urges me to write a book every day. ”

"Oh, so Sister Alice has a sister!" Amy exclaimed in surprise, "If only I could be her sister!"

Bang.

It was next door that Amy's sister Joanne fell hard.

The story begins, and since the dinner is put on her husband, Rita happily reads the story for her daughter.

"The Boy Who Never Died".

Amy had read this chapter in the preview book, but how could the quality and text of that book compare to the text of the published novel?

"Mr. and Mrs. Dursley, who live at 4 Privet Road, always proudly say that they are unruly people. Please, please, they've never been involved in mysteries and weirdness, because they don't believe in those crooked ways at all. ”

It's still a familiar content, it's still a familiar taste, and Rita reads it with relish.

Mr. Vernon Dursley was a supervisor at a German company called Draken, which made drilling rigs and opened a branch in London. ”

Rita is really worthy of being an entrepreneur writer, Rita sighed in her heart, just the opening sentence can reflect the international thinking of the writer.

"He was tall and burly, so fat that he barely had a neck, but he had a big beard. Mrs. Dursley was a skinny blonde woman. Her neck is almost twice as long as normal. This way, whenever she spends a lot of time looking through the fence and snooping on her neighbors, her long neck comes in handy. Mr. and Mrs. Dursley had a young son named Dudley. In their minds, there is no better child in the world than Dudley. ”

Anyone who has read the sample book knows that to say that Dudley is such a good boy is to praise the children of the world. Not to mention the description of him in this whole chapter, just looking at the last paragraph of the whole text is enough to make many sympathetic mothers can't help but pay for the book.

Harry Potter rolled over in the blanket bag, but he didn't wake up. One of his small hands was placed right next to the letter. He continued to fall asleep, not knowing that he was special, that he was famous, that in a few hours he would be woken up by the screams of Mrs. Dursley's door to put the bottle, and that in the weeks to come his cousin Dudley would poke and poke him and pinch him, and that at this very moment the whole nation was gathering in secret. People raised their glasses and whispered, 'Bless the child who never died, Harry Potter!'"

Well, the boy who never died, I sincerely bless you with the fact that you will not die again. This is the feeling of all mother-level readers and the vast majority of girls after reading the trial book.

To be reasonable, what kind of family is this? Since the press conference a month ago, many readers have sent letters of inquiry to Bantam Books in New York. As Professor McGonagall said, there is no second family in the world that is more unsuitable for adopting Harry!

So, Rita was really reading this chapter at a very fast pace, and she cared no less than the girls about what kind of life Harry would live in the Dursleys!

"Uh...... 50,000 copies?"

Time, dinner.

Location, in the small town of Windsor, England, in a western restaurant.

Sissi was shocked and said, "The West Coast alone sold 50,000 copies in one day?"

"And then the whole country is 170,000 copies. Alice slices the steak with ease: "It's normal, I'm at least a famous author with two or three best-selling books, and my business subordinates, partners, and rivals will inevitably be interested in it." Even if you have limited interests, it's a good idea to read to your child. ”

"Looks like we should mail order domestic newspapers right away. Sissi shook her head and chuckled, "You can't wait for the book review, right?"

"Well, it's time to define it, it's still too late, and it takes time for critics to read. ”

Woo two bites to get a piece of meat, Alice drank a large gulp of juice to her heart's content.
