從孤單到接納
可愛鬼怪引導孩子思考如何建立友誼
★ 文學網站LitHub評選,2025年最值得期待的兒童讀物!
皮膚白皙,留著短短頭髮的Aggie興奮地搬進了自己的森林小屋,沒想到新家竟然附贈了一位不速之客:一個獨眼鬼。
獨眼鬼並不可怕,只是很有「存在感」,不但到處跟著Aggie,還打破Aggie設下的每一條家規:晚上不准出沒、不准偷襪子、不准吃光起司!
當Aggie跑到森林裡想喘一口氣時,獨眼鬼居然也跟來了!生氣的Aggie於是挑戰獨眼鬼,展開一場井字棋大戰,較量看看誰比較厲害,贏的人就可以獨占整間屋子!沒想到兩人居然實力相當……
正當Aggie以為接下來要長期抗戰時,獨眼鬼居然消失了。Aggie以為自己會很開心,但為什麼卻有一點小小的失落感?
插畫家Matthew Forsythe以招牌的水彩、廣告顏料和彩色鉛筆,為書中角色和場景注入豐富的情感與獨特魅力。詭異又滑稽的獨眼鬼有著豐富多變的有趣造型,讓讀者翻頁時驚喜連連,急著發現獨眼鬼的下一個變身造型。結局出人意料又溫柔有趣,也為孩子帶來細膩的思考空間。
A LitHub Most Anticipated Children’s Book of 2025
"A subtle, sweet friendship story from a true original." --Booklist (starred review)
From Matthew Forsythe, the creator of the acclaimed and beloved Pokko and the Drum, comes a surprising and pleasing picture book about rules. And sharing. And an epic game of tic-tac-toe.
Aggie is very excited to live on her own--until she finds out her new house is haunted. But no fear, the situation is nothing that can’t be fixed with a carefully considered list of rules: No haunting after dark. No stealing socks. No eating all the food.
But the ghost doesn’t like playing by the rules and challenges Aggie to an epic game of tic-tac-toe--winner gets the house.
