THE GIRL IN THE RED COAT
Book ID/图书代码： 03540014B67037
English Summary/英文概要： The story of a family broken by a kidnapping, told in the two compelling voices of a guilt-ridden mother and lost daughter.
Eight-year-old Carmel has always been different: wise beyond her years and often lost in her own little world.
Her mother, Beth, is still reeling from her recent divorce and is channeling all of her energy into building a new life for the two of them. She wants to wrap Carmel up in cotton wool and keep her safe, far from the harsh realities of the wider world.
But when Beth takes Carmel for a rare outing to a local book fair, the unthinkable happens: she loses sight of Carmel in the crowd and is unable to find her again. It’s as though she’s just vanished into thin air.
Incapable of accepting the possibility that her daughter might be gone for good, Beth sets off on a tireless journey to find Carmel. Meanwhile, Carmel, abducted by an elderly man claiming to be her grandfather, must embark on a harrowing journey of her own.
Chinese Summary/中文概要： 用令人信服的充满内疚的母亲和失踪的女儿的视角，讲述了一个被绑架打击的支离破碎的家庭的故事。
八岁的卡梅尔因为其超越年龄的智慧一直显得与众不同，常常迷失在自己的小世界。
她的母亲贝丝仍然晕眩在最近的离婚中，并正蓄积她所有的能量来建造她们的新生活。她想把卡梅尔包裹在棉花中，保证她的安全，让她远离整个世界的严酷现实。
但当贝丝带着卡梅尔去本地书展来一次罕见的出游，令人意想不到的事情发生了：她在人群中丢失了卡梅尔，并再也找不到她。就好像她只是消失在稀薄的空气中。
不能接受女儿可能一去不复返的事实，贝丝踏上了不知疲倦的寻找卡梅尔的旅程。同时，卡梅尔，被一个自称是她爷爷的年长男子绑架了，必须靠自己走出这趟痛苦的旅程。（LNL）
