《穿條紋衣的男孩》作者約翰．波恩溫暖動人的成長小說新作
勇敢面對自己的與眾不同，揚起頭，生命會收穫更多！
小男孩Barnaby Brocket生長在一個再平凡不過的家族，父母對於任何與眾不同的事物都嗤之以鼻，而且避之唯恐不及。然而，自己的兒子Barnaby打從來到這個世界開始，便註定是個特別的小孩。因為他打破地心引力原理，永遠只能浮在空中。
如此特別的成員讓家人們感到頭痛，認為他的存在有違常理。終於有一天，父母決定是時候讓兒子離開這個家了。孤單的Barnaby始終悶悶不樂，直到他某天不小心跌進一顆熱氣球，意外地認識了各種獨特的新朋友，也開啟了一段始料未及的奇幻旅程。（文/博客來編譯）
There's nothing unusual about the Brockets. Normal, respectable and proud of it, they turn up their noses at anyone different. But from the moment Barnaby Brocket comes into the world, it's
clear he's anything but ordinary. To his parents' horror, Barnaby defies the laws of gravity - and floats.
Barnaby tries to keep both feet on the ground, but he just can't do it. One fateful day, the Brockets decide enough is enough. They never asked for a weird, abnormal, floating child. Barnaby
has to go . . .
Betrayed, frightened and alone, Barnaby floats into the path of a very special hot air balloon - and so begins a magical journey around the world, with a cast of extraordinary new
friends.
