Do you want to have a doll that can talk with you? In the book The Ventriloquist’s Daughter, a girl named Liur gets a doll like this. But it doesn’t always make her happy.
Lin Man-Chiu, a writer from Taiwan, wrote the book. The book tells a loving story about Liur and her father.
Liur loses her mother at a young age. Her grandfather sends her father to a school in the US. Five years later, he comes back with a doll named Carola. This doll is quite special — it can speak like a person! However, Carola makes a lot of problems for the family.
After reading this book, I thought Liur and her father were unlucky. In fact, this story is about the writer’s own unhappy childhood. She had six sisters. But her grandfather wanted a grandson. Life was hard for her father, so he didn’t live with her and her sisters for a very long time. The writer didn’t like her father when she was young. But now she forgives him, because she understands her father had a hard life at that time.
After I learned this, I knew — everyone has demons (心魔) in their hearts, but we should do our best to defeat (击败) them.

One cool thing about the Nubrella is that you don't need to hold it like a usual umbrella, you can wear it. The shoulder straps(肩带)of the Nubrella can hold the umbrella for you. The Nubrella is big enough to cover your whole head and your body. You don't need to worry about getting wet in the rain. So when walking in the rain with the Nubrella, you're able to use your cell phone or drink a cup of hot coffee.
