BE NOT AFRAID (OLD TITLE: THE BLESSING)
Book ID/图书代码： 06840014B69979
English Summary/英文概要： Marin doesn’t quite fit in with the girls at her new school. She’s shy, quiet, and wears dark sunglasses—even inside. There’s a reason for this, a secret she can’t tell anyone: Marin can see pain inside people. Physical pain manifests as multi-colored shapes in everyone she meets. A cavity looks like a pea-sized emerald, a headache like a wide orange band. Muscular pain glows like bright blue beads, and hunger burns yellow. One day, when Carissa, one of the mean, popular girls at school, approaches Marin, Marin sees a thick, sinewy blackness seeping in and around the corners of Carissa’s brain, something she has never seen before. Things get more frightening when Dominic, Carissa’s cute older brother, admits to Marin that Carissa has been acting strangely. He thinks she may in fact be possessed by the devil. Worst of all, he thinks Marin has something to do with it. As Marin finds herself unwillingly drawn into Carissa’s situation, secrets of her own become exposed, leading her to a new, deeper understanding of herself, and her gift.
Be Not Afraid is the YA rendition of The Exorcist. Haunting and creepy, it is a story about learning how to find the good in yourself.
Chinese Summary/中文概要： 马林和她新学校的女孩相处的不好，她很害羞，安静，戴着黑色墨镜，甚至很内向。这一切的原因是她有一个不能告诉任何人的秘密：马林可以看到人身体的痛苦。她遇到的每个人身体上的疼痛都表现为多种颜色的形状。蛀牙看起来像豌豆大小的翡翠，头疼看起来像宽的橙色带，肌肉疼痛像明亮的蓝色珠子，饥饿像烧伤的黄色。
有一天，当学校受欢迎但卑鄙的其中一个女孩卡里萨接近马林时，马林看到一个厚厚的，强壮有力的黑暗在卡里萨大脑的周围和里面渗出，这是她从没遇到过的。当卡里萨可爱的哥哥多米尼克承认卡里萨最近的表现一直很奇怪时，事情变得更可怕。他认为她很可能被魔鬼附身了。最糟糕的是，他认为是马林做了些什么手脚。马林发现自己被迫卷入卡里萨的事情，从而她的秘密也曝光了，也让她对自己的这个能力有了新的和更深入的理解。
