THIS IS WHERE THE WORLD ENDS

Book ID/图书代码: 11518014B74698

English Summary/英文概要: *From the author of FALLING INTO PLACE, THIS IS WHERE THE WORLD ENDS is about a boy who’s obsessed with apocalypses and a girl whose goal in life is to make the entire world fall in love with her.*

August Carter believes in apocalypses; Janie Vivian believes in miracles. His greatest ambition is to get the hell out of Waldo, MN; she has a thirteen-step plan for Happily Ever After. Their friendship is unlikely--and secret. They only meet outside of school by the big pile of pebbles called "The Metaphor." Together they plan to be Waldo High’s vigilante crime-fighting duo--battling bitches and bullying in DIY ninja masks.

But then something happens to Janie at the soccer team’s state tournament that makes her go from golden girl to unpredictable mess. Then they don’t fight crime anymore, they commit crimes by taking revenge on anyone who mocked her. As August begins to investigate the mystery that is Janie, he discovers a world somewhere between miracles and apocalypses

Chinese Summary/中文概要: 据作者所说,本书是关于一个深迷天命的男孩和一个人生目标是让全世界爱上她的女孩

奥古斯特•卡特深信天命;詹妮薇薇安相信奇迹。他最大的野心不过是远远逃离沃尔多;她为了永远幸福有个十三步计划。他们的友谊是虚妄的,也是秘密的。他们只在学校外一堆叫做“隐喻”鹅卵石处见面。他们面带自制忍者面具,一起计划成为沃尔多高中的反暴力义警二人组。

然而,后来詹妮遇到了事,足球队的全州联赛让她从黄金女郎陷入了不可名状的混乱之中。他们不再对抗犯罪,反而开始对嘲笑薇薇人实施报复。奥古斯特准备着手调查詹妮的秘密之际,他发现了一个介于奇迹与天命之间的某处世界。(LNL)
