A First Time for Everything

Description

這是一本基於暢銷書作家和卡爾德科特獎得主丹·桑塔尷尬的中學歲月和改變他生活的歐洲之旅的中年級插圖回憶錄。丹一直是個好孩子。那種聽老師的話，幫媽媽買東西，不惹麻煩的孩子。但做一個好孩子並不能阻止他被欺負和被忽視的感覺，這就是為什麽當丹的父母送他去歐洲參加班級旅行時，他對他的期望很低。

A middle grade graphic memoir based on bestselling author and Caldecott Medallist Dan Santat’s awkward middle school years and the trip to Europe that changed his life. Dan’s always been a good kid. The kind of kid who listens to his teachers, helps his mom with grocery shopping, and stays out of trouble. But being a good kid doesn’t stop him from being bullied and feeling like he’s invisible, which is why Dan has low expectations when his parents send him on a class trip to Europe.

At first, he’s right. He’s stuck with the same girls from his middle school who love to make fun of him, and he doesn’t know why his teacher insisted he come on this trip. But as he travels through France, Germany, Switzerland, and England, a series of first experiences begin to change him-first Fanta, first fondue, first time stealing a bike from German punk rockers… and first love. Funny, heart-warming, and poignant, A First Time for Everything is a feel-good coming-of-age memoir based on New York Times bestselling author and Caldecott Medal winner Dan Santat’s awkward middle school years. It celebrates a time that is universally challenging for many of us, but also life-changing as well.
