WING JONES: A NOVEL
Book ID/图书代码： 11701215B84187
English Summary/英文概要： Wing Jones doesn’t shine like her older brother does. While Marcus is a top athlete – a high school superstar with a beautiful girlfriend – Wing is too tall, too plain, too awkward. But one night, a police offer brings terrible news to their door: the perfect Marcus has been stupidly reckless, and is lying in hospital in a coma. Now Wing must learn to seize the unique strength she never knew she had and, drawing inspiration from her mother, her grandmothers, and her ancestors, begins to discover she can run faster than anybody else. In 1990s Atlanta, US, all eyes are on the Olympics, and speed could bring Wing everything she wants. Money, freedom, and maybe even a way to find her way back to Marcus. Can she hold her family together, and become the woman she was always meant to be, with the man who has been there for her all along?
Chinese Summary/中文概要： 温•琼斯并不像她哥哥那样耀眼。她的哥哥马库斯是高中的体育明星，有个漂亮的女朋友，而她则长得太高，太一般，太笨拙。但某个晚上，警察带来了坏消息：完美的马库斯一时疏忽，躺在了医院，昏迷不醒。现在，温必须学习发挥一项自己从来不知道的强项，从母亲、祖母、祖先那里寻求启发，发现自己比任何人都跑得快。20世纪90年代的美国亚特兰大，所有人的目光都聚焦在奥林匹克赛场，而速度能够给温带来她梦寐以求的一切。金钱、自由，甚至是回到马库斯身边的方法。她能将家人凝聚在一起，成为自己想要成为的那个人，并和始终支持她的那个男人在一起吗？（LYR）
Awards/获奖情况：“一位杰出的天才。她的书有太多亮点：温，一直在斗嘴却很温暖的祖母和外祖母，还有小说所传递的有关多样性以及女孩从事体育运动的积极信息。能够出版《温•琼斯》令我们倍感自豪。”
