NOT IF I SEE YOU FIRST

Book ID/图书代码： 06840014B73412

English Summary/英文概要： Parker Grant is a sixteen- year-old junior in high school who loves to run, has great friends and is not afraid of speaking her mind—especially about how stupid people can be around blind people like her. The only topics to be avoided at all costs are what it’s like to be a recent orphan and how she feels about the boy who broke her heart who will soon be returning to her school. As long as she keeps giving herself stars for all the days she hasn’t cried since her dad died from an overdose in June she’ll be perfect...right?

Not If I See You First is about a take-no-prisoners teenager whose life just doesn’t seem to be cutting her a break. In the vein of Wonder and The Fault In Our Stars, Not If I See You First combines a fiercely engaging voice with heart and truth.

Chinese Summary/中文概要： Parker Grant是个16岁的初中生，喜欢奔跑，有很多好朋友。她说话很直接，总说人们在她这样的盲人身边时，表现得多么愚蠢。只有两个话题需要尽量避免，一个是刚成为孤儿的感觉如何，还有就是那个曾经伤透了她的心的男孩将重返校园。自从她的爸爸在6月因服药过量去世之后，她都没有哭过，并且每天因此奖励自己一颗五角星。这样一切都会好起来的，是吗？

小说描写了一个面对厄运毫不妥协的女孩。与《无比美妙的痛苦（The Fault In Our Stars）》风格类似，整部小说情节引人入胜，情感充沛又非常真诚。（LYR）

“Parker和朋友之间的互动非常真实。在创作这个渴望独立的女主人公时，作者将Parker学会信任和原谅的过程描绘得曲折而生动。”——《出版人周刊》

“这部小说真诚而发人深省。书中的人物让我欢笑，让我哭泣。曲折的情节令我惊讶不已。我会在接下来的几年内都向大家推荐这部作品。”—— Deb Caletti，获奖作家

**Had auction & pre-empt in almost all the countries sold. Very big title for HC in UK. Fantastic voice, great story, main character is blind, but he’s fierce. The combination has captured everyone’s imagination. Really hit a massive core with this.

“Lindstrom’s immersive portrayal of the dimension Parker’s blindness adds to both atypical and everyday angst imbues his protagonist with mature complexity. Like the Army vest covered in slogans or the colorful blindfolds she wears like a "Rorschach test," Parker’s snarky bravado is not only for armor, but for input...Parker herself does not escape analysis (or sympathy), ultimately confronting her problems through what others reveal. An unflinching exploration of trust, friendship, and grief.” Kirkus, starred review

“The byplay between Parker and her friends is believable, and in creating a heroine whose drive for independence brings both risks and rewards, Lindstrom adds a note of complexity to his gripping depiction of how Parker learns to trust and forgive.” Publishers Weekly

“Not If I See You First is thoughtful and honest, with characters that made me laugh, cry, and surprised me at every turn. It’s a book I’ll recommend for years to come.” Kody Keplinger, New York Times bestselling author of The Duff and cofounder of Disability in KidLit

“Bursting with complex, lovable, and, best of all, real characters, Not If I See You First is a beautiful story about love, loss, friendship, and the difference between looking at and truly seeing. Parker Grant feels like a friend now a friend I want to laugh with, to cry with, and especially...to run with.” Jennifer Brown, author of Hate List and Bitter End

“Sure, this book is fierce, funny, and honest. But get ready for some of the most likable characters you’ve read in years.” Deb Caletti, awardwinning author of The Queen of Everything and Honey, Baby, Sweetheart

“Parker Grant is unforgettable: vivid, feisty, and absolutely loveable. This book broke my heart, but left me smiling.” Fiona Wood, author of Wildlife and Six Impossible Things
