2. 故事简介:打破偏见的温柔史诗
在海边小镇 Seawaren,人们世代相传着关于海洋的警告:海里的生物是危险的、暴力的、是怪物。
小女孩 Sunny 一直对此深信不疑。直到有一天,她违背了母亲的禁令,在夜色中重返海岸,遇见了一只真正的“怪物”——Mo。
然而,Mo 并不像大人们说的那样。他聪明、温柔,甚至有着和人类一样的情感。他正在绝望地寻找自己失踪的弟弟。Sunny 决定保守这个秘密,并帮助 Mo。但随着小镇陷入饥荒,恐慌蔓延,Sunny 发现:真正可怕的“怪物”,或许从来都不是游荡在海里的那些……

Sunny waited until her mother was asleep before she went back for the monster . . .
All her life, Sunny has known three truths about the creatures that prowl the seas off her tiny coastal town. They are dangerous. They are violent. They are monsters.
But when a chance encounter leads to an unexpected connection, Sunny discovers just how wrong she has been. The monster she meets – Mo – is intelligent, gentle, and searching for his lost brother.
Sunny desperately wants to help, and to keep her new friend a secret. But other people are keeping secrets too. And as hunger grips the town, new truths will emerge about the real monsters in Seawaren . . .
An astonishing debut novel about friendship, trust and survival, perfect for fans of Skellig.
