★Billy and the Queen


I read "Billy and the Queen". I think it was an amusing story.

Billy and Roxanne who is his sister called Rox are staying at their grandmother's house. Billy wants a new bicycle, because his bicycle is very, very old. If he gets a lot of money, Rox wants new one too. "Do you know how I can make a lot of money?" he asks to Gran. She shows him a magazine called Palace. "There's a competition here and the first prize is £500." she says. "Send us a photo of you and the Queen together," he reads.

How do you think they take a photo with the Queen?
They look at the magazine, because it tells when and where the Queen's going to be. They go to the places that the Queen comes, but they can not take a photo. Finally, Rox gets a nice idea! She goes to Madame Tussaud's. They find the Queen and Rox take a photo of Billy standing next to the Queen! However, a Madame Tussaud's guard is very angry. "You can't take photos like that in here. Come on. Give me that camera. Now!" he shouts and follows them. Billy and Rox start to run and they do not stop.


Two weeks later, Gran is talking to her neighbour - Mrs Clark. They are both looking at Palace magazine. Out in the garden, Billy and Rox are riding their new bikes.
"What a beautiful photo!" says Mrs Clark. "And how wonderful for you to have a grandson who knows the Queen. Does he know her well?" "No, not very well," says Gran. She smiles.



By the way, I think Mrs Clark looks like the Queen a little.
The cover of this book is the photo of Billy and the Queen and it is the title of this book!

I know about Madame Tussaud's a little, though I have not been to there. There are many famous people of wax dolls. I want to go there someday.
