內容簡介: |
Nobody understands why Angeline is so smart. She could read the
first time she picked up a book, she can play the piano without
ever having had a lesson, and she even knows what the weather is
going to be. But being smart is causing Angeline nothing but
trouble. The mean kids in school call her a freak, her teacher
finds her troublesome, and even her own father doesn''t know what to
do with an eight-year-old girl who seems to be a genius. Angeline
doesn''t want to be either a genius or a freak. She just wants the
chance to be herself and be happy. But it''s only when she makes
friends with a boy the kids call "Goon" and the teacher they call
"Mr. Bone" that Angeline gets that chance.

關於作者: |
When Louis Sachar was going to school, his teachers always
pronounced his name wrong. Now that he has become a popular author
of children’s books, teachers all over the country are pronouncing
his name wrong. It should be pronounced “Sacker,” like someone who
tackles quarterbacks or someone who stuffs potatoes into sacks. Mr.
Sachar received a B.A. in economics from the University of
California at Berkeley. His first book, Sideways Stories from
Wayside School, was accepted for publication during his first year
of law school. After receiving his law degree, he spent six years
asking himself whether he wanted to be an author or a lawyer before
deciding to write for children full-time. His books include Wayside
School Gets a Little Stranger, There’s a Boy in the Girls’
Bathroom, Wayside School is Falling Down, Dogs Don’t Tell Jokes,
and the Marvin Redpost series. Louis Sachar lives in Austin, Texas,
with his wife and their daughter, Sherre.
