Book ID/图书代码： 06580009B33307
English Summary/英文概要： Be careful what you wish for . . .
Andi is short. And she has lots of wishes. She wishes she could play on the school basketball team, she wishes for her own bedroom, but most of all she wishes that her long lost half brother, Bernardo, could come and live in London, where he belongs.
Then Andi’s biggest wish comes true and she’s minutes away from becoming someone’s little sister. As she waits anxiously for Bernardo to arrive from the Philippines, she hopes he’ll turn out to be tall and just as mad as she is about basketball. When he finally arrives, he’s tall all right. But he’s not just tall ... he’s a GIANT.
In a novel packed with humour and quirkiness, Gourlay explores a touching sibling relationship and the clash of two very different cultures.

Chinese Summary/中文概要： 我希望我可以長高，但是我不要成為一個巨人！
Andi是個子非常小的女孩，她夢想自己能加入學校的籃球隊；希望能有自己的房間；但她最希望是失散已久的同父異母哥哥能和回到倫敦和他同住。
有天她的夢想終於成真了，分離八年的哥哥Bernardo將從菲律賓抵達，八年不見，Andi心想如果哥哥身高很高的話，那麼他就可以教她打籃球。Andi一見到Bernardo驚訝的說不出話來，沒錯，哥哥是很高，還是不是普通的高，簡直就像巨人般。
兩個多年未見的兄妹，兩個截然不同的文化背景，會為彼此的生活帶來多大的趣味呢？ Bernardo真能幫助Andi長高，完成加入籃球隊的夢想？(VL)
