The Prince Of the Mist

The Prince of the Mist is a novel by Carlos Ruíz Zafón. It was written in 1993.

Max was thirteen years old. He moved to another village with his family. When they arrived, his sisters, Irina and Alicia, saw a cat and they decided keep it.

Max’s father said to him that there was family who had lived there before whose son drowned. Max discovered that behind their garden  there was a garden of statues. One statue was of a clown who had its fist closed, and then, it was open.
At night, the family were watching a film when they saw the clown was in it.

Max and Alicia met Roland and they went snorkelling and they saw a sunken boat. The boat had a strange symbol on it. 

Max’s grandfather said to Max that there was a magician, Cain, who granted wishes. The old owner wanted a wife, so Cain granted to him one in exchange for their first son.

The boat sank and the magician allegedly died with with all the other sailors.

Max discovered that Roland was the son of the old owner of his house.

Cain returned and killed Roland in the sea.

I liked this book very much because it is mysterious and intriguing.. The story makes you want to continue reading to discover that happens next.
