【遭遇未來人,命運是否由我掌握】
 
故事發生在1999年,12歲男孩麥可遇上了奇異少年瑞奇,他個性大膽、自信、無所畏懼,可說是麥可嚮往的榜樣,然而當瑞奇透漏自己是一位時間旅人時,麥可則對他隨身攜帶的那本記錄著未來二十年事件的書愈發執著。麥可不只想知道內容,更想得到那本書,才能為未來做好準備......
 
It's August 1999. For twelve-year-old Michael Rosario, life at Fox Run Apartments in Red Knot, Delaware, is as ordinary as ever—except for the looming Y2K crisis and his overwhelming crush on his sixteen-year-old babysitter, Gibby. But when a disoriented teenage boy named Ridge appears out of nowhere, Michael discovers there is more to life than stockpiling supplies and pining over Gibby.
 
It turns out that Ridge is carefree, confident, and bold, things Michael wishes he could be. Unlike Michael, however, Ridge isn’t where he belongs. When Ridge reveals that he’s the world’s first time traveler, Michael and Gibby are stunned but curious. As Ridge immerses himself in 1999—fascinated by microwaves, basketballs, and malls—Michael discovers that his new friend has a book that outlines the events of the next twenty years, and his curiosity morphs into something else: focused determination. Michael wants—no, needs—to get his hands on that book. How else can he prepare for the future? But how far is he willing to go to get it?
 
A story of time travel, friendship, found family, and first loves, this thematically rich novel is distinguished by its voice, character development, setting, and exploration of the issues that resonate with middle grade readers.

📣書店店員真心推薦📣
如果有機會瞥見未來,你是否也會想盡辦法把握機會呢?在日本漫畫家龍樹諒創作的《我所看見的未來》爆紅後,不禁引起我們的反思,未來是否能夠靠預言猜中,那樣的未來是可扭轉的嗎?在得知預言後又會如何影響我們生活的態度呢?推薦給喜歡時間穿越、預測未來、探討命運主題的讀者。
