Olivetti

描述

這是一部動人心弦的兒童小說處女作，透過一台風趣打字機與一名內向男孩的獨特視角娓娓道來 —— 適合《願望樹》與《流浪狗的故事》讀者。

A heartfelt debut children’s novel told from the unique vantage points of a witty typewriter and an introverted boy – for fans of Wishtree and A Rover’s Story. Being a typewriter is not as easy as it looks. Surrounded by books (notorious attention hogs) and recently replaced by a computer, Olivetti has been forgotten by the Brindle family – the humans he’s lived with for years. The Brindles are busy: Dad and Mum work constantly, three of their children put the extra in extra-curriculars, and Ernest, their shy twelve-year-old, goes off alone to read. When Olivetti learns Mum has mysteriously gone missing, he believes he can help find her. He breaks the only rule of his ‘kind’ and types back to Ernest, who must face what he and his family have been running from, The Everything That Happened. Only by working together will they find the parts of themselves they’ve lost.
