HERO-TYPE

Book ID/图书代码： 00500008B23862

English Summary/英文概要： Everyone is treating Kevin as a hero. He was in the right place and the right time and he saved a girl from being murdered. Only Kevin knows though, why he was able to save her. Things get even more complicated when Kevin is seen removing two patriotic "Support the Troops" ribbons from his car bumper. Now the town that lauded him as a hero turns on him, calling him unpatriotic. Kevin, who hadn’t thought much about it up to then, becomes politcially engaged, suddenly questioning what exactly supporting the troops or even saying the pledge of allegiance every day means.

Chinese Summary/中文概要： 每个人都把凯文当做是一个英雄，而他只不过是机缘巧合的救了一个快要被谋杀的女孩。也只有凯文自己知道，他能够救那个女孩的原因。事情在凯文把汽车保险杠上两个“支援部队”的条幅取下后变得更加复杂。如今整个镇都赞他是英雄再现，但同时也说他没有爱国之心。之前从未考虑过这些的凯文，开始忙于政治，突然间开始质疑：究竟什么才是真正意义的支援军队？又或者，那只是每天喊一遍效忠誓词而已

Awards/获奖情况："…Lyga rambles well…his keen sense of teenage boy-dom that keeps the plot from getting too weighty." ---Kirkus Reviews

About the Author/作者介绍： After graduating from Yale with a degree in English, Barry Lyga worked in the comic book industry for ten years. He wrote comics for part of that time, but also was responsible for spearheading and developing Free Comic Book Day, the comics’ only industry-wide promotion. During those years, he was a spokesperson for the industry in general, quoted in countless newspaper and magazine articles, as well as appearing on National Public Radio’s “All Things Considered.” He co-wrote a book on incorporating comic books and graphic novels into school libraries and has spoken on the topic at regional and national conferences.
In 2006, his first young adult novel, The Astonishing Adventures of Fanboy and Goth Girl, was published to rave reviews, including starred reviews from Booklist and School Library Journal. USA Today called it “an entertaining read no matter what age you are.” VOYA commented, “A triumphant finale leaves readers wanting to read the novel again and again.” SLJ listed the book as one of the best of 2006. His second young adult novel, Boy Toy, received starred reviews in SLJ, Publishers Weekly, and Kirkus. VOYA gave it its highest critical rating, and the Chicago Tribune called it "...an astounding portrayal of what it is like to be the young male victim."
Publisher’s Weekly named Lyga a “Flying Start” in December 2006 on the strength of his debut.
Lyga lives and writes in the desert. He has a comic book collection that is way too big. His third novel, Hero-Type, will hit stores in Fall 2008.
