Book ID/图书代码: 12311015B86705
English Summary/英文概要: Winner of multiple awards, praised by librarians and teachers as one of the best books ever written for teens—NOW BACK IN PRINT!
New town, new school, new friends. It was difficult for Ginny at first, but her senior year is finally starting to feel kind of normal. That is, until she sees him—the beautiful mystery in her English class. He has never spoken a word to anyone. He moves through each day at school without making eye contact. His name is Smitty Tibbs, but everyone calls him the Alien.
Ginny is convinced there’s more to the Alien than his muted exterior. But as she attempts to break into his safe and emotionless world, she realizes her efforts might be causing more harm than good. Has she gone too far, or not far enough?
"Utterly compelling…totally satisfying. A fast-moving, unusual contemporary romance that should have great appeal."
Chinese Summary/中文概要: 新的城镇,新的学校,新的朋友。对于Ginny来说,这一切在一开始都很难,但当她升到高三就感觉好多了。原因其实是他:英语课时遇到的那个神秘的充满魅力的人。他从不对任何人说话。他每天在学校里走来走去但从不和任何人眼神接触。他的名字是Smity Tibbs,但大家都叫他外星人。
Ginny觉得“外星人”外表虽然冷漠,内心一定还有更多想法。但当她试图走进他的世界时,她意识到她的努力可能带来更多伤害而非抚慰。她是否已经做过了头?还是远远不够?(LYR)

This, too, appeared some time ago but also deserves ongoing mention as an excellent story.
