Far Far Away

　　媲美當代奇幻大師尼爾‧蓋曼的現代闇黑童話
　　若你喜歡《墓園裡的男孩》，那麼你絕對會愛上《Far Far Away》！

　　Jeremy Johnson聽到了某些聲音，嚴格來說，應該是一種聲音，是鬼魂Jacob Grimm所發出來的。Jacob想要保護他，遠離那存在於此地與另外那個世界間不知名的闇黑耳語。只是百密終有一疏，Jacob的保護傘終究未能分分秒秒都罩著Jeremy。

　　Ginger Boultinghouse面前的蛋糕被施了咒，她咬下後便會愛上第一眼看見的人，而那個幸運兒恰巧就是Jeremy。這樣的意外發生在別的地點或許還不錯，但在Never Better這種隨時有生命危險的地方卻未必。而且，所有認識Grimm家兄弟的人都明白，不是所有童話最後都有幸福美滿的結局……。

　　資深作家Tom McNeal寫作實力不容小覷，在他創作的青少年小說裡，往往是充滿了異想的奇幻世界與驚險刺激的曲折情節，不僅增添許多閱讀趣味，同時也為童話下了一個全新的現代註腳。（文／博客來編譯）

　　A dark, contemporary fairy tale in the tradition of Neil Gaiman.
Jeremy Johnson Johnson hears voices. Or, specifically, one voice: the ghost of Jacob Grimm, one half of The Brothers Grimm. Jacob watches over Jeremy, protecting him from an unknown dark evil whispered about in the space between this world and the next. But Jacob can't protect Jeremy from everything. When coltish, copper-haired Ginger Boultinghouse takes a bite of a cake so delicious it’s rumored to be bewitched, she falls in love with the first person she sees: Jeremy. In any other place, this would be a turn for the better for Jeremy, but not in Never Better, where the Finder of Occasions—whose identity and evil intentions nobody knows—is watching and waiting, waiting and watching. . . And as anyone familiar with the Brothers Grimm know, not all fairy tales have happy endings.

　　Veteran writer Tom McNeal has crafted a young adult novel at once grim(m) and hopeful, full of twists, and perfect for fans of contemporary fairy tales like Neil Gaiman's The Graveyard Book and Holly Black's Doll Bones.
