● 內文簡介

"Amber Lee Dodd writes with tenderness and thunder, and her storytelling is a bolt of brilliance." Kiran Millwood Hargrave

The Bradley family are constantly escaping from a centuries old curse which means that every home they ever live in is destroyed by a typhoon or flash flood that affects no other houses on the street, or they are chased out of town by a flock of persistent birds. They have just moved to their thirteenth house and Noah wants this one to work out - he's got some good friends at school and desperately wants himself and his deaf brother Billy to put down roots. But the curse returns - so he must find a way to break it.

In an imaginative and heartfelt exploration of human--and non-human--nature, Leah Thomas champions the unyielding bonds between family and true friends.

 

● 作者簡介

Amber Lee Dodd teaches creative writing, has a blue belt in kickboxing and briefly lived in a Scottish castle. Her dream is to go on an adventure to the Arctic, or to ride across the Arabian Desert, like the lady adventures in Lighting Chase Me Home. But she mostly spends her time by the sea dressed in 1940’s clothes, coming up with stories.

Her plays have been performed at the Minerva Theatre, New Theatre Royal and the Edinburgh Fringe. Her short stories have been published around the world and broadcast on BBC Radio 4. Her first book We Are Giants was nominated for ten awards, winning the Calderdale Book of the Year and short listing for the Branford Boase Award.
