Not Nothing

Description

#1 《紐約時報》暢銷作家蓋爾・弗爾曼的這部作品，被《出版人周刊》給予星級評價，稱其為「一個透過對失去的共同理解而結成跨代友誼的故事…… 以令人著迷的優雅筆觸娓娓道來」。故事中，一個男孩被安排在夏天去養老院做志願服務，並從中學到了意想不到的課題。

In this “tale of intergenerational friendship forged through a shared understanding of loss…told with spellbinding grace” (Publishers Weekly, starred review) from #1 New York Times bestselling author Gayle Forman, a boy assigned to spend his summer volunteering at a senior living facility learns unexpected lessons.

Alex is twelve, and he did something very, very bad. A judge sentences him to spend his summer volunteering at a retirement home where he’s bossed around by an annoying and self-important do-gooder named Maya-Jade. He hasn’t seen his mom in a year, his aunt and uncle don’t want him, and Shady Glen’s geriatric residents seem like zombies to him.
