THE HAVEN: A NOVEL
Book ID/图书代码: 02173014B71991
English Summary/英文概要: For the teens at The Haven, the outside world, just beyond the towering stone wall that surrounds the premises, is a dangerous unknown. It has always been this way, ever since the hospital was established in the year 2020. But The Haven is more than just a hospital; it is their home. It is all they know. Everything is strictly monitored: education, exercise, food, and rest. The rules must be followed to keep the children healthy, to help control the Disease that has cast them as Terminals, the Disease that claims limbs and lungs—and memories.
But Shiloh is different; she remembers everything. Gideon is different, too. He dreams of a cure, of rebellion against the status quo. What if everything they’ve been told is a lie? What if The Haven is not the safe place it claims to be? And what will happen if Shiloh starts asking dangerous questions?
Powerful and emotional, The Haven takes us inside a treacherous world in which nothing is as it seems. “Imagine Anna Quindlen or Sue Miller turning her attention to writing a young adult novel, and you have an idea of what Carol Lynch Williams has done for early teen readers.” (Audrey Couloumbis, author of the Newbery Honor Book Getting Near to Baby)
Chinese Summary/中文概要: 对于“庇护所”的青少年们而言,塔墙所圈地以外的世界代表着危险和未知。自从这座医院在2020那年建成,一直以来都是这样。然而“庇护所”并不单纯是一座医院,这里还是他们的家。这便是所有人所了解的全部。所有的一切都被严格的管控着:教育,锻炼,食物,休息。必须严格遵守规则,从而确保孩子们的健康,确保曾经那场侵袭他们的名为“终端”的“疾病”能在掌控之中,据说这种“疾病”会夺走他们的四肢,肺部,以及记忆。
但是Shiloh和其他人不一样,她记得全部的一切。Gideon也不太一样。他能梦见一种治疗方案,那便是反抗现状。如果他们所被告知的一切其实都不过是谎言?如果“庇护所”并不是它所自称的那个安全地?如果Shiloh开始问危险的问题,那一切又将发生怎样的变化呢?
《庇护所》将用它满满的力量与情感, 带领读者们深入到一个充满阴谋算计,全非表象的世界。
“想象一下Anna Quindlen或是Sue Miller转而开始写作青少年小说,你就会明白本书作者Carol Lynch Williams正在为青少年们做什么。 ” (Audrey Couloumbis, 作家,著有Newbery Honor Book Getting Near to Baby) (DC)
