"A Tangle of Knots" by Lisa Graff 這是一本每個角色都有專長的奇幻小說,每個人都有奇特的才能,可能是在真實世界裡用不上的,例如玩牌、打結、吹口哨、吐東西、躲貓貓;也有一些很棒的才能如主角Cady能為每個人做出最完美的蛋糕;也有人沒有專長,還在尋找自己的才能。Cady是一位住在孤兒院的女孩,即使她有能力烤出最美味的蛋糕,她在每個寄宿家庭都待不久。這裡甚至有個會偷小孩的才能裝在罐子裡的男人,正在找尋一張他50年前遺失的紙條。渴望找到棲身之處的Cady最後能找到屬於她的家嗎?那多年前的秘密會怎樣影響每個人的發展?在這本多重視角的小說裡,你會找到自己最喜愛的角色(不一定要是主角),就像在對你訴說故事一樣。 A National Book Award nominee! The magic of Savvy meets the complexity of When You Reach Me in this "blithe magical puzzle," --The Wall Street Journal Told in multiple viewpoints, A Tangle of Knots is a magnificent puzzle. In a slightly magical world where everyone has a Talent, eleven-year-old Cady is an orphan with a phenomenal Talent for cake baking. But little does she know that fate has set her on a journey from the moment she was born. And her destiny leads her to a mysterious address that houses a lost luggage emporium, an old recipe, a family of children searching for their own Talents, and a Talent Thief who will alter her life forever. However, these encounters hold the key to Cady's past and how she became an orphan. If she's lucky, fate may reunite her with her long-lost parent. Lisa Graff adds a pinch of magic to a sharply crafted plot to create a novel that will have readers wondering about fate and the way we're all connected. ISBN-10: 0147510139 ISBN-13: 978-0147510136
