Book ID/图书代码： 06540508B20946

English Summary/英文概要： Young Eli Trebuckle is the “fixer of all things fixable.” He fixes the vacuum cleaner, the fan, and even the radio, hoping to catch some news of his father who is away at war. But there’s one thing that Eli simply can’t fix -- his bad dreams. It’s the same one over and over again: a mountain of junk, a prize just beyond his reach, and a fall.
One night as Eli stays up late to work on his most recent invention and escape another nightmare, a mysterious, luminous, and somewhat bumbling man by the name of Mr. Moon appears at his window. He knows just what the matter with Eli is and promises to help him, if he can fix one more thing…And so Eli Trebuckle makes the journey to the broken Moonpowder factory. If he can get it up and running, he can ensure that the whole world will have sweet dreams! But can Eli face his greatest fears and meet the biggest challenge of his lifetime? With inspiring courage, determination, and a little faith, Eli proves that, happily, the answer is yes.

Chinese Summary/中文概要： 年幼的Eli Trebuckle是個“萬能修理工。”他修復了吸塵器，電風扇甚至還有收音機，他希望能聽到關於離家參戰父親的一些消息。但只有一件事情Eli不能修復 —— 他的噩夢。這個噩夢不斷地重複著：一個大的垃圾山，遠處他觸手可及的一份獎品，然後又墜落了。
一天晚上當Eli在為他最近的發明熬夜工作以逃避另一場噩夢時，一個神秘的，發光的，看上去有點笨手笨腳的自称Mr. Moon （月亮先生）的男人出現在他的窗前。他知道Eli所有的一切並承諾幫助他擺脫噩夢，如果他能幫他再修復好一樣東西……
於是Eli Trebuckle踏上了前往破損月亮粉末工廠的旅程。如果Eli能讓這個工廠正常運轉，Mr. Moon就能確保整個世界將會擁有美夢！但Eli能否面對自己一生中最大的恐懼和最大的挑戰？隨著受到勇氣，決心和一點信心的鼓舞，Eli驗證了最終的結局是幸福快樂的。(Sandy)

Awards/获奖情况：Young Eli, a Mr. Fix-It, stays up late tinkering so he won’t have any more bad dreams. One night, a huge, golden, pock-marked moon sticks its head in the window and proclaims the problem is Moonpowder. Eli isn’t getting enough of the magical marvel, which brings sweet dreams. The factory has been on the blink lately, and Mr. Moon thinks Eli can fix it. Eli’s foray to the factory in his helio-rocket-copter provides ample opportunity for Rocco’s fabulous artwork. His inventive paintings, done in deep, rich colors of night and tinged with gold, are used in spreads, panels, and full pages. The mechanical “gizbots” inside the factory, adjusting valves and dials, along with the intricate hand drawings of the factory’s inner workings, will keep children, especially the mechanically inclined, totally fascinated. Although the story may not have quite as much magic as the artwork, the ending, which brings Eli’s soldier father home, is sweet and satisfying. This will sustain many readings.
