【猶如青年版《美國眾神》,與北歐神話來一場出其不意的夏日冒險】
「只要點燃火焰,我就會和你在一起。」
 
或許對大部分學生來說,暑假是段最好永遠不要結束的快樂時光,但對孤兒David而言,暑假是痛苦的,畢竟放假就代表他必須離開學校宿舍,回去和討人厭的監護人叔叔Bernard一家大眼瞪小眼。
最慘的是,David回去才發現,由於看錯行程表,叔叔阿姨今年沒有安排旅游或夏令營,等於他這個暑假都逃不開了!氣得他衝到花園角落,低吼著他隨意編造的詞來釋放怒氣。
然而語言比想像中更有力量,這一連串的「詛咒」,竟然像讓花園的牆崩塌,從中釋放出一名長期被束縛的囚犯Luke。儘管Luke外表只比David大一歲,卻有一身奇怪的力量,以及操控火焰的能力。
在這位神秘新朋友的帶領下,David開始了一段奇幻旅程……

"Just kindle a flame and I'll be with you."
It's summer vacation, but David's miserably stuck with his unpleasant relatives. Then a strange boy named Luke turns up, charming and fun, joking that David has released him from a prison. Or is he joking? He certainly seems to have strange powers, and control over fire . . .
Luke has family problems of his own, and some very dark secrets. And when David agrees to a bargain with the mysterious Mr. Wedding, he finds himself in a dangerous hunt for a lost treasure, one that will determine Luke's fate!
作者介紹
Diana Wynne Jones
In a career spanning four decades, award-winning author Diana Wynne Jones wrote more than forty books of fantasy for young readers. Characterized by magic, multiple universes, witches and wizards—and a charismatic nine-lived enchanter—her books were filled with unlimited imagination, dazzling plots, and an effervescent sense of humor that earned her legendary status in the world of fantasy. From the very beginning, Diana Wynne Jones’s books garnered literary accolades: her novel Dogsbody was a runner-up for the 1975 Carnegie Medal, and Charmed Life won the esteemed Guardian children’s fiction prize in 1977. Since then, in addition to being translated into more than twenty languages, her books have earned a wide array of honors—including two Boston Globe-Horn Book Award Honors—and appeared on countless best-of-the-year lists. Her work also found commercial success: in 1992 the BBC adapted her novel Archer’s Goon into a six-part miniseries, and her best-selling Howl’s Moving Castle was made into an animated film by Japanese director Hayao Miyazaki in 2004. The film was nominated for an Academy Award in 2006, and became one of the most financially successful Japanese films in history. The author herself has also been honored with many prestigious awards for the body of her work. She was given the British Fantasy Society’s Karl Edward Wagner Award in 1999 for having made a significant impact on fantasy, received a D.Lit from Bristol University in 2006, and won the Lifetime Achievement Award at the World Fantasy Convention in 2007.
