Book ID/图书代码： 02330014B68157
English Summary/英文概要： For twelve year-old Grubb, life as a chimney sweep in the English countryside has always been hard. Apprenticed to a brutal master sweep named Mr. Smears, Grubb wants nothing more than a life free from toil and abuse. After incurring the wrath of a local innkeeper, Grubb stows away in a trunk belonging to one of the guests. Soon, the boy finds himself at the Odditorium—a flying house of mechanical wonders filled with supernatural beings and powered by a mysterious blue energy called animus. The eccentric owner of the Odditorium, Alistair Grim, allows Grubb to stay on as help, but when Grubb accidentally allows some of the animus to escape, he attracts the attention of Prince Nightshade, an evil necromancer who wants the animus for himself. After an intense battle and narrow escape from London, Grubb and his friends set off in the Odditorium to defeat Prince Nightshade, during which time Grubb discovers the real purpose of Alistair Grim’s animus—a purpose as strange and nefarious as the evil necromancer who seeks to control it.
Chinese Summary/中文概要： 对于年仅十二岁的格鲁伯而言，在英国的乡村之中靠打扫烟囱谋生从来就不是一件易事。格鲁伯在凶暴的清扫大师斯米尔斯先生的手下做学徒，他最大的愿望莫过于拥有不受苦力支配和虐待的自由生活。在触怒了当地一家小酒店的老板后，格鲁伯悄悄逃上了一名客人汽车尾部的行李箱。很快格鲁伯便发现自己置身于奥迪托瑞姆---一座飞屋之中，这座有着神奇机械构造的飞屋里充满了各种超自然生物，并且由名为阿尼姆斯的神秘蓝色能量为其提供能量，供其运作。奥迪托瑞姆古怪的主人阿里斯泰•格林同意让格鲁伯留下帮忙，然而一次偶然的机会，格鲁伯不小心让一些阿尼姆斯能量溢出了飞屋以外，也因此引来了邪恶的死灵法师---“夜影王子”的注意，因为他自己也想要让阿尼姆斯为其所用。在经过了一场激烈的斗争，格鲁伯与朋友们从伦敦侥幸逃脱，他们开始了誓要打败夜影王子的奥迪托瑞姆之旅，然而格鲁伯也在此过程中偶然发现了阿里斯泰•格林利用阿尼姆斯的真实目的---这一目的可以说与邪恶死灵法师一心想要寻找并掌控阿尼姆斯的目的一样诡异与邪恶。（DC）

Booklist AND Publishers Weekly ran rave reviews of Gregory Funaro’s ALLISTAIR GRIM’S ODDITORIUM!!!
• “[A] rollicking fantasy…Funaro’s world building and characters are fascinating, and the fast pace and overstuffed plot—from war in the air to a daring escape from sea sirens—make for an exciting story. Funaro’s first book for young readers has all the playfulness of classic adventures like THE PHANTOM TOLLBOOTH and the intrigue of newer steampunk novels, making it a clever mash-up of mystery and merriment, ideal for kids who loved PERCY JACKSON and HARRY POTTER.” – Booklist
• “Funaro’s knack for memorable characters and scenarios shines in this frenetic, entertaining romp. Action and mayhem abound…Funaro brings it all together with clever worldbuilding.” – Publishers Weekly
