DENTED CANS
Book ID/图书代码： 00353013B63309
English Summary/英文概要： A family secret is revealed during an ill-fated--yet hilarious--trip to Disney World. Sixteen-year-old Hannah Sampson knows her family is not what you would call normal. Her father compulsively buys dented cans and has a particular fondness for cans without labels, which are extremely discounted because their contents are a mystery. Her mother takes countless pictures of her family and then glues them down into the pages of her scrapbooks, but does not allow anyone to look at them. Ryan, Hannah’s mischievous fourteen-year-old brother, is headed straight for the remedial track at the local community college, if he’s lucky. Ben, her eight-year-old brother, is a walking sound effects machine, who prefers to communicate with noises rather than words. While Hannah is focused on escaping her working-class Connecticut suburb, she also finds herself being tugged back home as she worries about her brother Ben. Hannah’s parents inflict one last family vacation on the Sampson children, a trip that goes comically wrong almost from the get-go. Hannah is forced to confront her family’s past in Disney World, of all places, when an emotional argument prompts her parents to disclose a secret they have been keeping from the children for sixteen years. Ultimately, she must decide whether to leave her hometown and not look back, or to focus on helping her family.
Chinese Summary/中文概要： 一个家族的秘密在一次前往迪斯尼乐园的，看似欢闹却是不幸之行的过程中显现无疑。16岁大的汉娜•桑普森(Hannah Sampson)知道自己所处的这个家可称不上什么正常家庭。她的父亲有着购买凹痕罐头的强迫症，而且对罐头有着一份特殊的钟爱，那就是他专挑那些没有标签的，极低打折价的这些罐头，因为对他来说这些罐头内都隐藏着各自的奥秘。汉娜的母亲则是一个拍摄了不计其数关于家人相片，然后将这些相片贴入自己相片簿的，但却不允许任何人去翻看这些相片的一个怪异母亲。如果汉娜那永远爱搞怪的十四岁兄弟赖安，能安份地直接去当地的补习社区学校的话，那他便能走上正道了。 本，她8岁的小弟本，简直是一个行走的音响效果机器，喜欢与噪声沟通而不是用言语。当汉娜正满脑子计划着要逃离康涅狄格郊区工人阶级时，她发现自己因太担心家中年幼的小弟-本，已无法摆脱这个奇异的家庭。汉娜的父母为桑普森家的孩子们制造了最后一次家庭度假，从旅行出发开始这一切便开始搞笑般地出错了。当一场情绪激动的争论引发了这对父母曾经严守了16年的隐秘时，汉娜被迫要面对家庭曾在迪斯尼乐园的过往所有地方。最终，她必须对自己是否能永不回头地离开家乡，或者集中精力帮助她的这个家庭走出阴霾作出抉择。(Sandy)

Heather Walsh grew up in North Haven, CT, fantastically close to Pepe’s pizza. She received a B.A. in English at Mary Washington College, which has been renamed to, drum roll please... the University of Mary Washington. They initially tried to rename it after another dead white Virginian because there aren’t enough of those schools around, but somehow Mary pulled through. Heather graduated Phi Betta Kappa and summa cum laude, which sounds kind of fancy but really means she took easy classes. She taught high school English in Brooklyn for one year, where she loved the students but not the system. She then joined corporate America and worked there for too many years as an IT trainer, project manager, business analyst, and SQL dabbler (select * from Dented_Cans). Her favorite writer is Alice Munro, her favorite movie is The Godfather Parts I & II (tied for first), and her favorite TV show is The Wire. She has lived in some pretty neat places, including Brooklyn (kind of before it was hipster-cool to do so), Manhattan, and San Francisco. The unfortunate result of living in these locations is that she has become an obnoxious foodie. She currently lives in Brookline, MA with her husband, Mike DeLucia, and their two children.
