小學五年級的你，平常都在做些什麼？又曾經為了什麼事，焦慮到整晚睡不著覺？ 這本書，用圖像與文字描繪出一段令人心碎，卻也讓人看見希望的成長歷程。在安樂生活之中，我們煩惱的是成績與排名；但在世界的某個角落，有孩子只是希望能有機會走進教室。對我們來說，學校也許是壓力來源；但對世界某些孩子而言，能上學，是一個奢侈的夢。 他們最大的願望，不是考第一，而是——能有個安全、安穩、有尊嚴的生活。 https://www.facebook.com/share/p/1AJGgJEBtz/ 《When Stars Are Scattered 》今年也收錄在書林的高中職讀書心得比賽推薦書單，目前在特價中。 高雄書林這次為個別訂書的讀者開了團購連結， 9/19前在表單中登記團購，順利成團的話即可享有團購買書送書優惠：…

這本書在 2012 年出版後立刻引起轟動，不僅拿下許多獎項，也在 BookTok 上被瘋狂推薦，後來甚至拍成電影。有趣的是，當年我完全錯過這個風潮，直到有一天在女兒的書桌上看到它。我還以為她買的是哲學書，結果她淡淡說：「同志青少年小說啦。」 如果你也喜歡成長小說、友情故事，或單純想讀一本會讓人反思「我是誰」的小說，我真心推薦你讀讀這本 《Aristotle and Dante Discover the Secrets of the Universe》。或許，你也會在故事裡，找到屬於自己的「宇宙秘密」。 #李老師陪你探索英文世界 #英文閱讀 #成長小說 #AristotleandDanteㄌㄧ #成長小說 #YA小說#同志文學#AristotleAnd https://www.facebook…

美國作家 Johnnie Christmas 的視覺文學小說 《Swim Team》，便是一本鼓勵青少年跨出舒適圈，勇敢挑戰自我的精彩作品，特別適合國中階段的孩子閱讀。作者以輕鬆的敘事語調、細膩的角色描寫以及濃厚的情感刻畫，引導讀者隨著圖文走進主角 Bree 的世界，瞭解她如何擺脫困境與成長過程。 我衷心推薦這本《Swim Team》給國中高年級以上的學生，尤其是那些正處於自我探索與信心建立階段的孩子。這不僅是一個關於「學會游泳」的故事，更是關於「學會面對自己」與「學會理解世界」的成長旅程。成人如你我者不妨也陪著孩子們游入那座看似深不見底的泳池，與他們一起探索，共同理解真正的勇氣並非從不感到畏懼，而是即使害怕，還願意繼續嘗試著努力達成目標。 ✒️Quotes We affect other …
