內容簡介

2012年萊比錫書展大獎得主沃夫岡.赫恩多夫一部笑中帶淚的青少年小說佳作

  Mike Klingenberg一直搞不懂為什麼大家都說他很無趣。他的朋友很少(好吧,其實是零),朗讀作文時總是被同學笑,而且從來沒有人邀請他去派對,包括校園美女塔提安娜的生日派對。

  轉學生Andre Tschichatschow,綽號Tschick(連老師都很難叫對他的名字),從不跟人說話,穿著總像是跟人打過一場架似的邋遢,順理成章地被歸類為校園裡不受歡迎人物之一。

  有一天,同樣沒受邀參加派對的Tschick無預警地出現在Mike家門口,他們決定把那些受人追捧的同學拋到腦後,一起出發!這趟沒有爸媽、沒有地圖、沒有目的地的公路旅程,他們會迷路嗎?可能吧。他們會遇到一些瘋狂的人、惹上意想不到的麻煩嗎?一定。之後還會有人笑他們無趣?絕對不可能!

  【文∕博客來外文館】

  A beautifully written, darkly funny coming-of-age story from an award-winning, bestselling German author making his American debut.

  Mike Klingenberg doesn't get why people think he's boring. Sure, he doesn't have many friends. (Okay, zero friends.) And everyone laughs at him when he reads his essays out loud in class. And he's never invited to parties - including the gorgeous Tatiana's party of the year.

  Andre Tschichatschow, aka Tschick (not even the teachers can pronounce his name), is new in school, and a whole different kind of unpopular. He always looks like he's just been in a fight, his clothes are tragic, and he never talks to anyone.

  But one day Tschick shows up at Mike's house out of the blue. Turns out he wasn't invited to Tatiana's party either, and he's ready to do something about it. Forget the popular kids: Together, Mike and Tschick are heading out on a road trip. No parents, no map, no destination. Will they get hopelessly lost in the middle of nowhere? Probably. Will they meet crazy people and get into serious trouble? Definitely. But will they ever be called boring again?

  Not a chance.
