English Summary/英文概要： Ten-year-old James, doted on by his three aunts, is haunted by the loss of his mother. He doesn’t know where his mother is—only that she is sick and he has to live with his aunts in a shoddy city apartment. One day he skips school to go to his secret place, a deserted house. What follows is a roller-coaster-like adventure story ride through the streets of New York City.

About the Author/作者介绍： Paula Fox was born in New York City on April 22, 1923. She is the daughter of writer Paul Hervey and Elsie da Sola Fox. She married Richard Sigerson in 1948, and had three children: Adam, Gabriel, and Linda; the couple divorced in 1954. She was married to Martin Greenberg in 1962.
Fox developed a respect for reading as a child. Because her father’s occupation as a writer took him away for business, Fox lived in various places including New York, California, and Cuba (with her grandmother). Despite her formal education being divided among many schools, she was able to learn Spanish fluently and was encouraged to read avidly. Fox returned to New York and attended Columbia University from 1955-1958; however, because of financial difficulties, she was unable to complete her degree. After various jobs, she became a teacher of writing workshops and a professor of literature at the University of Pennsylvania in Philadelphia.
保拉.福克斯於1923年4月22號出生於美國紐約市。她的父母均是作家。1948年，保拉嫁給了Richard Sigerson，並育有三個孩子。兩人結婚6年後以離婚而告終。1962年，作者再嫁。
福克斯少兒時代就熱愛上閱讀。由於父親身為作家需要四處奔波，保拉在眾多地方定居過，例如紐約，家裡福利亞以及古巴。經管作者學業生涯屢經多次轉校，她依然能夠說一口流利的西班牙語，並且讀了大量作品。在1955-1988年間，作者回到紐約，並進入哥倫比亞大學學習。可是，由於經濟問題，作者無法取得學位。在從事多種職業以後，保拉終於可以在一家寫作講習班擔任老師，並成為賓夕法利亞大學費城分校的文學教授。
