WHAT WE SAW AT NIGHT

Book ID/图书代码： 11518013B65871

English Summary/英文概要： Allie Kim suffers from Xeroderma Pigmentosum: a fatal allergy to sunlight that confines her and her two best friends, Rob and Juliet, to the night. When freewheeling Juliet takes up Parkour—the stunt-sport of scaling and leaping off tall buildings—Allie and Rob have no choice but to join her, if only to protect her. Though potentially deadly, Parkour after dark makes Allie feel truly alive, and for the first time equal to the “daytimers.”

On a random summer night, the trio catches a glimpse of what appears to be murder. Allie alone takes it upon herself to investigate, and the truth comes at an unthinkable price. Navigating the shadowy world of specialized XP care, extreme sports, and forbidden love, Allie ultimately uncovers a secret that upends everything she believes about the people she trusts the most.

Chinese Summary/中文概要： 像石黑一雄的《别让我走》一样，本书缓缓追忆回述了，三个（患有危及生命的阳光过敏症）伙伴都认为自己不同于常人。透过十六岁的艾利•吉姆的眼睛，他们漫步在寂静的街道，在他人睡梦正酣时，他们期待着一场冒险之旅。当艾利的好友推荐三人去酷跑时，（受制于白天和夜间活动自由）他们的身影在林间和高大建筑物间奔驰。在酷跑中他们觉得自己是活着的，和“白天的那些正常孩子”没有什么两样。
一个夏夜，当三人酷跑的拓展空间延展至一栋看上去稀松平常的建筑物时，当三人决意窥探一下这栋空宅内的虚实时，却窥见了一个年长的男人和一个看上去已经死去的女孩呆在一起。一场类似于猫捉老鼠的游戏就此在医院隔离病房的地下世界展开，出格的运动，和禁忌的爱情，永远无法见天日的艾利，发现自己是唯一的一个能阻止这个人类恶魔的关键人物。(Sandy)
