「令人揪心、入迷的故事，同時學會如何寫小說的小說！」──星月書房「Mini & Max」系列主編、國立臺東大學兒童文學研究所副教授 游珮芸甫出版即獲荷蘭兒童文學獎「銀石筆獎」，授權翻譯德、法、韓、義……等十多國語言出版。一本虛實交錯的書中書，跟隨少女卡婷卡在面對記憶與自我的創作練習中，深刻體驗「寫作」和一份人生的共感。卡婷卡今年十三歲，母親很早就過世了，目前和爸爸、弟弟卡勒一起生活。她立志成為作家，但不知道該如何下筆才叫做寫得好，也總擔心沒人想閱讀一個小孩的作品。渴望寫出一本書的卡婷卡猶豫許久，終於，她鼓起勇氣拜訪了鄰居莉德溫；莉德溫有豐富的寫作經驗，已經完成十多本書、拿過三個獎項──儘管，卡婷卡還沒拜讀過她的任何一本書。幸好，莉德溫爽朗地答應了，僅要求卡婷卡協助園藝來作為指導寫作的回報，兩人展開了一段亦師亦友的親密情誼。只是，要寫些什麼呢？該從哪裡開始寫呢？卡婷卡想了許久，決定從爸爸的新女友「蒂爾克」如何進入他們三人生活開始，雖然她對這個起點仍抱有太多的遲疑，但或許這將是一個不錯的起點……許多孩子都曾有過作家夢，但總不知從何下筆或因自我懷疑而放棄；同時，有不少拙於文字表述的孩子，對於作文課更是大大地退避三舍。長期關注兒童與青少年教育議題的荷蘭作家安娜特．赫辛，便試圖以這本初試啼聲《卡婷卡和她的寫作練習》，說一則笑中帶淚的好故事，默默地引導孩子慢慢建立起「作文」概念，順利習得寫作的要訣和關鍵。而本書主角卡婷卡，從最初單純想寫個好故事，再到藉由書寫以拾掇自己的生命經驗，一一爬梳、釐清當面對「死亡」、「分離」和「改變」的真實心緒……一連串的過程，讓讀者看見了獨屬青少年的人生況味，與卡婷卡深深共享著快樂、哀傷、猶豫和期盼，這也凸顯出寫作的奧妙。《卡婷卡和她的寫作練習》帶給讀者的不只是寫作要領的提點，也帶我們看見了寫作的自由和美好、生命與書寫連結的深刻所在。
