About the book 'Sock' by Steve Cole

     Something strange is going on at Freekham High. Ginger Mutton was always the quiet, unpopular one. Now everybody wants to hear what she has to say - because she's started to predict the future. With a sock. And sockingly enough, her predictions are coming true - just not always to the right people! It seams to be another darned Freekham mystery.

The book 'Sock' was written by Steve Cole. The story is special that about a girl with a strange sock which can predict the future of anyone. After my reading, I thought the pupils shouldn't believe or care too much about the sock's prediction because it couldn't be sure through listening. Actually, this book contains too much vocabulary that I haven't learnt so I think it is hard for me to read.
