《Pax》作者Sara Pennypacker首部歷史小說，以納粹佔領下的法國為背景，描繪一名孤兒在動盪年代中尋得勇氣的過程。本書主角Lucas在孤兒院被嘲笑為「小閃電」，因為他心軟、不敢打架。戰火與佔領讓村莊籠罩陰影，他渴望證明自己。一次拯救小貓的行動，使他遇見藏匿小馬的英國女孩Alice。兩人從互不信任到並肩合作，也逐漸發現村中暗藏的抵抗行動：傳遞密碼的神父與女管家、疑似庇護猶太家庭的鄰居、為保護嬰兒鋌而走險的年輕母親。在流言指向盟軍登陸之際，Lucas必須衡量自己願意承擔多少風險。本書透過孩童視角呈現戰爭下的人性與選擇，是一部動人的成長故事。The acclaimed, New York Times bestselling author of Pax delivers an historical novel about an orphan during WWII who discovers unexpected courage within himself when he becomes involved with the Resistance.

The first half of the 20th century was a time of great change in China. After the 1911 Revolution, leaders like Sun Yat-sen and Chiang Kai-shek tried to modernize the government, education, defense, and more. With the onset of the Second Sino-Japanese War and later occupation of Hong Kong, the focus of both the Kuomintang and the Chinese Communist Party shifted to resistance efforts in order to survive. And who did they turn to for help?To his children, Lee Sik-pang (李錫彭) was just an artist and antiques dealer in Hong Kong until the family immigrated to the United States in the late 1950s. So why did several of his watercolor paintings depict possible Allied bombing targets? And how did he know so many famous people, including Sun Fo (Sun Yat-sen’s son), Admiral Henry Hsu of the Republic of China Navy, and the British High Commissioner-General for Southeast Asia Malcolm MacDonald?By answering these questions and many more, this book argues that Lee Sik-pang was not only an accomplished

Jarvis offers a moving tale of friendship, kindness, and acceptance, softly touching on the subjects of illness or hardship in a way that young children can understand. Everyone likes David, the boy with flowers in his hair. He's sweet and gentle, just like his colorful petals. David and his best friend have a great time together, finding the good puddles, making up songs, and running away from the bees. But one day David comes to school wearing a hat, and he is quiet. When he takes off the hat, his bright petals flutter down like butterflies. Now, where his flowers were looks twiggy and prickly, causing the other children to stay away. But David's best friend has an idea--a way to help David get his color back, wielding paintbrushes and plenty of love. Sensitively told and simply illustrated, Jarvis's story invites even the youngest children to talk about difficult subjects in an age-appropriate way--and feel inspired to support others when they face trying times.

A. with B. in C. by D. from 看到「noon」（中午），就知道此句應該是要使用和時間有關的介系詞，但是中午是一個確切的時間，不能用和範圍有關的「in」而是應該用「at」，但因為選項裡沒有「at」，所以可以看出來必須使用具有「在…之前」意思的「by」。既然介系詞有這麼多「只能意會不能言傳」的部分，直接用圖解去體會介系詞的涵義才是最好的學習法。◆從原點出發，只要記一個基礎概念，就能延伸學會多種相關用法！以往我們學英文，只會「at＋時間點／地點／年紀…」這樣卯起來逐條背，卻不明白為什麼要這樣用，結果就完全推給「這是老外的習慣用法，先記下來」的說法敷衍了事。其實一開始就不需那麼累，只要從一個概念出發並搭配圖解，相關的用法都從這個概念去聯想、延伸，自然不用背。例如，先懂 at 是「準確的一個點」的概念，於是 at 後面所接的事物全都要被看作是「一個
