THE TIME FETCH
Book ID/图书代码： 00342513B60036
English Summary/英文概要： Edward though he had picked up a rock. He didn’t know it was a sleeping Time Fetch—and touching it would alter the entire fabric of time and space. Under normal circumstances, a Time Fetch sends out its foragers to collect only those moments that will never be missed or regretted. The Fetch then rests, waiting to be called back by the Keeper, who distributes the gathered time where it is needed in our world and others across the Great Web.
When eighth-grader Edward innocently mistakes a sleeping Fetch for an ordinary rock, he wakes its foragers too early, and they begin to multiply and gobble up too much time. Soon the bell rings to end class just as it has begun. Buses race down streets, too far behind schedule to stop for passengers. Buildings and sidewalks begin to disappear, as the whole fabric of the universe starts to unravel.
To try and stop the foragers, Edward must form an uneasy alliance with three classmates. Feenix (given name Edith) calls him “Dweebo” and seemingly exists to annoy him. Danton, a self-confident, easy-going athlete, has never before shown the slightest interest in Edward. Brigit is brand new at school, painfully shy and mysteriously silent. But all four have touched the Fetch, which has changed them in ways they don’t quite understand and has drawn them together in a strange and thrilling mission to save the entire universe.
This smart, funny, fast-paced middle-grade fantasy is sure to charm fans of A Wrinkle in Time and When You Reach Me.
Chinese Summary/中文概要： 爱德华以为他捡了一块石头，他不知道那其实是睡着了的时光机，如果碰它就会改变整个时间和空间的构造。
在正常的情况下,一个时光机派出收集器去收集不会错过和后悔通过网络分发到世界上需要它们的地方。
当八年级的爱德华无意间错误的将睡着的时光机当成普通的石头时，他唤醒他的收集器太早了，它们吞噬了很多的时间，很快，在上课铃打没多久下课铃就打了，公共汽车在大街上飞奔，无法按预定的时间停下来等乘客，房子和人行道开始消失了，时空被扰乱了。
为了试图阻止收集器，爱德华和三个同学组成了一直不寻常的联盟队伍，菲尼克斯（本名伊迪丝）称他“Dweebo”似乎会惹恼他，丹东，一个自信的，随和的运动员，之前也从未对爱德华有丝毫兴趣。布里吉特是学校的新生，害羞而且安静。他们四个都触摸了时光机，因此他们的生活都发生了意想不到的变化，也让他们为了拯救地球这个奇特和令人兴奋的使命聚集到一起。
