Taxi of Terror

I read "Taxi of Terror" written by Phillip Burrows and Mark Foster

 One day, Jack's farewell party was held. His colleagues presented him a letter and a mobile phone.

When the party was over and he left, he was very tired and wanted to sleep. He finds a taxi and tries to get home soon and sleep, but on his way home, a dangerous man called Wolf hijacked the taxi. Actually, He was trying to flee the country. Jack was put in the trunk of the car by the criminal and could not move freely. However, he remembers that he was given a mobile phone and calls the police to come and help him. While he was on the phone, the taxi which the driver, the criminal and Jack was in reached to the airport.

 This story is structured like a cartoon. I don't usually read comics, so I didn't know words like Screech or Beep! This book really taught me that. It was very funny and the the end of this story was a comedy. So I enjoyed all. And I was surprised that  English speakers really say "It's a banana." and give someone a mobile phone as a present.
