一部令人不安、扣人心弦的青少年小說,探討在錯誤的地方尋找歸屬感,以及挑戰試圖控制我們的人所需的勇氣。本書融合了《怪奇孤兒院》與《蒼蠅王》的風格,適合尼爾·蓋曼和荷莉·布萊克的粉絲。

十一歲的索爾抵達灰燼之家,渴望找到治療複雜疼痛症候群的方法,卻發現這裡是一群被神秘校長遺棄的怪異孩童的社區。

灰燼之家的孩子們希望新來的男孩能像他們一樣愛上這個家。他們給了他一個和他們相似的名字。他們帶他參觀宿舍,告訴他校長為他們創造的美好綠洲。但這個新來的男孩已經有名字了,不是嗎?至少在走進那道大門之前,他確實有……

這裡本該是像他這樣的孩子們的療癒避風港。介於學校和夏令營之間。有像他一樣的孩子。有像他一樣的痛苦。但在灰燼之家,沒有人可以生病。絕對不行。

然後,醫生來了……

神秘的灰燼之家即將發生怪事。索爾在這片神秘土地上待得越久,就越開始忘記自己是誰,其他孩子也越來越不信任他,而他的痛苦也越發加劇。但他能否在現實中堅持足夠長的時間,找到逃脫的方法?更重要的是,他能說服其他人嗎?

The atmosphere in this one is properly eerie, and the way the danger creeps up on the main character kept me flipping pages way past my bedtime. The sense of dread feels earned, not just thrown in for shock, and the ending left me genuinely satisfied.

Joshua ★★★★★

The atmosphere is properly creepy without being nightmare-fuel, and the main character's desperation to belong feels painfully real. I bought it for my 11-year-old but honestly finished it myself in two sittings, and the ending left me thinking about it for days.
