THE MOST PERFECT THING IN THE UNIVERSE
Book ID/图书代码： 06430021C00016
English Summary/英文概要： For fans of Shouting at the Rain by Lynda Mullaly and The Adventures of a Girl Called Bicycle by Christina Uss, a novel about one unadventurous girl who discovers she is anything but.
Eleven-year-old Loah Londonderry is definitely a homebody. While her mother, a noted ornithologist, works to save the endangered birds of the shrinking Arctic tundra, Loah anxiously counts the days till her return home. But then, to Loah’s surprise and dismay, Dr. Londonderry decides to set off on a perilous solo quest to find the Loah bird, long believed extinct. Does her mother care more deeply about Loah the bird than Loah her daughter?
Things get worse yet when Loah’s elderly caretakers fall ill and she finds herself all alone except for her friend Ellis. Ellis has big problems of her own, but she believes in Loah. She’s certain Loah has strengths that are hidden yet wonderful, like the golden feather tucked away on her namesake bird’s wing. When Dr. Londonderry’s expedition goes terribly wrong, Loah needs to discover for herself whether she has the courage and heart to find help for her mother, lost at the top of the world.
Beautifully written, The Most Perfect Thing in the Universe is about expeditions big and small, about creatures who defy gravity and those of us who are bound by it.

Chinese Summary/中文概要： 对于林达•穆拉利的《雨中呐喊》和克里斯蒂娜•乌斯的《自行车历险记》的粉丝们来说，这本小说讲述的是一个不爱冒险的女孩发现自己的过程。
11岁的罗亚•伦敦德里绝对是个宅女。当她的母亲，一位著名的鸟类学家，致力于拯救濒临灭绝的北极苔原鸟类时，罗亚焦急地数着她回家的日子。然而，让罗亚感到惊讶和沮丧的是，伦敦德里博士决定开始一项经济圈的个人探索，寻找长期以来被认为已经灭绝的罗亚鸟。她母亲关心罗亚鸟胜于关心自己的女儿吗？
更糟的是，当罗亚年迈的看护者生病时，她发现除了她的朋友爱丽丝之外，她一个人独处。爱丽丝自己也有大问题，但她相信罗亚。她肯定，泥鳅有隐藏的力量，但美妙的，就像金毛藏在她的同名鸟的翅膀下。当伦敦德里博士的探险队出了严重的错误时，罗亚需要发现自己是否有勇气为她迷失在世界之巅的母亲寻找帮助。
这本书写得很漂亮，《宇宙中最完美的东西》是关于大大小小的探险，关于那些反抗地心引力的生物和我们这些被地心引力束缚的人。
