內容簡介
【動物救援大師之子-什麼才是我的天賦?】

有兩隻狗、一隻貓、五條金魚、一條神仙魚、一個糊里糊塗的動物收容所員工媽媽以及最近新增的一整盒的刺蝟寶寶,對了!還有一個被媽媽以流浪狗為靈感而取一模一樣的名字-Indie Kidd,Indie慶幸的是至少她的Kidd後面有兩個d。這天是她的十歲生日,但她並不介意媽媽早就忘記她的生日,不是說生日不重要,但畢竟動物救援啦、那些可愛又孤苦無依的小動物們啦,的確比她的生日還要緊急,所以早上媽媽急著出門時Indie還不忘提醒要帶上那一盒刺蝟寶寶。

可是Indie沒預料到在她10歲生日最糟糕的事竟然會是-不可能寫得出來的學校作業!老師指派的作業要每個人列出自己的三大才能,天啊!不要說三個,Indie連一個都想不到。但是別擔心,還有她的好朋友Soph和Fee和她無時無刻都會帶動物回家的媽媽都會幫助她找到她的天賦。

這是一本幽默又可愛的成長青少年小說,透過俏皮的敘事與出乎意料的情節發展,陪伴女孩Indie一同度過快樂與壓力並行、自我探索、建構自信的成長時光。

Meet Indie Kidd, who is celebrating her 10th birthday. Or she would be celebrating if it werenˊt for a horrible school project. Indieˊs teacher loves making lists and wants the students to list their top three talents. Never mind three talents, Indie can hardly think of one. Her super-talented best friends, Soph and Fee, have quickly finished their lists. Now, thereˊs no time to lose as the girls team up to help Indie find her special talents. She tries just about everything from hair wrapping to magic tricks. Thereˊs got to be something Indieˊs good at—or at least good(ish).
作者介紹
Karen's Scottish Victorian adventure 'LITTLE BIRD FLIES' was Carnegie-nominated, and was both a 'Sunday Times' and 'Times' Children's Book of the Week. Her heroine Bridie's adventures concluded in pioneer-era America with 'LITTLE BIRD LANDS'. Both books are described by bookseller Aimee Bratt as being "one of the most beautiful duologies to grace the sphere of children's books".
In a past life, Karen worked as a journalist on teenage girls' magazines such as 'Just 17' and 'Sugar'. Her hobbies include scribbling random observations in notebooks, brushing cat hair from the keyboard of her laptop, walking her scruffy dog and posting nonsense on Instagram.
