十歲的 Mayowa 一直覺得爺爺 Edward 很奇怪。他會把鬍子染成翡翠綠，還會偷偷在房間裡跳上書本。直到某一天，Mayowa 也忍不住跳上一本書，才發現這不是胡鬧，而是家族世代相傳的祕密魔法。Mayowa 可以「書本跳躍」。只要跳上一本書，她就能汲取故事中的情緒，再將那些感受注入現實中的人心。一本書裡的勇氣、悲傷、希望與憤怒，都可能成為推動世界改變的力量。當 Mayowa 得知自己的能力也許能拯救許多難民的生命，她決定不再旁觀，而是要真正踏進這場冒險。然而，書本跳躍者不只她和爺爺。有人想用這份力量帶來理解與希望，也有人想把它變成操控人心的工具。Mayowa 必須學會分辨善意與危險，更要明白：故事的力量，從來不只存在於書頁之中。推薦給喜歡《Skandar and the Unicorn Thief》、《Impossible Creatures》與魔法冒險故事的讀者。‘Joyful and truly original’ – Katherine Rundell, author of Impossible CreaturesWARNING: DO NOT JUMP ON THIS BOOK!Have you ever jumped on a book?
