SOMEBODY UP THERE HATES YOU
Book ID/图书代码： 00342513B60334
English Summary/英文概要： “Chemo, radiation, a zillion surgeries, watching your mom age twenty years in twenty months: if that’s part of the Big Dude’s plan, then it’s pretty obvious, isn’t it? Somebody Up There Hates You.”
Smart-mouthed and funny, sometimes raunchy, Richard Casey is in most ways a typical seventeen-year-old boy. Except Richie has cancer, and he’s spending his final days in a hospice unit. His mother, his doctors, and the hospice staff are determined to keep Richie alive as long as possible. But in this place where people go to die, Richie has plans to make the most of the life he has left. Then Sylvie, the fifteen-year-old girl across the hall, enters the picture with some remarkable plans of her own...
Hollis Seamon creates one of the most original voices to appear in young adult literature, narrating a story that is unflinching, graphic, heartbreaking, funny, and above all life-affirming in its depiction of what it really means to be a teenager dying of cancer.
Chinese Summary/中文概要： “（Richard Casey接受）化疗，放疗，无数的手术，看着母亲在二十个月里苍老了二十岁......如果这是大个子（Richard Casey）计划的一部分，那就很明显了，不是吗？说得够多了。”
Richard Casey滑稽有趣，有时不修边幅，几乎是个典型的十七岁男孩。只是他患了癌症，将在病房里度过他最后的日子。他的母亲，他的主治医生，和医院的工作人员都尽可能延续着他的生命。但在这个地方的人是注定要离开人世的，里奇计划将他剩下的日子好好利用起来。
西尔维是病房里另一个不到十六岁的病人，她告诉了里奇一些她自己的计划。友情在此时迅速升华成了真正的爱情，这对苦命鸳鸯决定无论他们剩下多少时间，都要用自己的方式活下去。
Hollis Seamon青年小说的处女作在年轻文学领域发出了自己特有的声音，讲述了一个坚定不移的、形象的、令人心碎的、有趣的、对生命肯定的故事，这些对一个将要死于癌症的青少年来说是极为重要的。（Pêche）
Awards/获奖情况：“Each character is vividly drawn, with a sharp, memorable voice that readers will love and remember……A fresh, inspiring story.”——Kirkus Reviews, starred review
SUTHY has landed me here in this hospice, where we—that’s me and Sylvie—are the only people under 30 in the whole place, sweartogod. But I’m not dead yet. I still need to keep things interesting. Sylvie, too. I mean, we’re kids, hospice-hostages or not. We freak out visitors; I get my uncle to sneak me out for one insane Halloween night. Stuff like that. And Sylvie wants to make things even more interesting. That girl’s got big plans.
Only Sylvie’s father is so nuclear-blasted by what’s happened to his little girl, he glows orange, I swear. That’s one scary man, and he’s not real fond of me. So we got a major family feud going on, right here in hospice. DO NOT CROSS line running down the middle of the hall, me on one side, her on the other. It’s crazy.
In the middle of all of this, really, there’s just me and Sylvie, a guy and a girl. And we want to live, in our way, by our own rules, in whatever time we’ve got. We will pack in some living before we go, trust me.
