內容簡介
內容簡介 十一歲的女孩Willodeen喜歡各種生物，而她最喜歡的是這片土地上最不可愛，被稱為「尖叫者」的奇怪野獸，但當地Perchance村的村民稱它們為害蟲，甚至—「怪物」。Willodeen 相信這些動物在自然中扮演重要的角色。近年來，大自然似乎開始陰晴不定。Perchance村像是被詛咒了一般，火災、泥石流、乾旱、地表發熱…接連不斷，甚至令當地人驕傲，同時也是收入來源的蜜熊也愈來愈少。自村民有記憶以來，這些小動物就一直在藍色柳樹頂閃閃發光的窩裡過冬，吸引著來自四面八方的遊客。 然而今年，卻沒有任何一隻蜜熊回來…。有一天，Willodeen看見「尖叫者」被消滅，她是唯一感到憤怒和悲傷的人，其他村民竟無人有感。她挺身而出，告訴大人這是不對的，但她的聲音卻反而被淹沒…。Willodeen和朋友決心要為異常變遷的大自然和小動物們發聲。The earth is old and we are not, and that is all you must remember . . . Eleven-year-old Willodeen adores creatures of all kinds, but her favourites are the most unlovable beasts in the land: strange beasts known as 'screechers'. The villagers of Perchance call them pests, even monsters, but Willodeen believes the animals serve a vital role in the complicated web of nature. Lately, though, nature has seemed angry indeed. Perchance has been cursed with fires and mudslides, droughts and fevers, and even the annual migration of hummingbears, a source of local pride and income, has dwindled. For as long as anyone can remember, the tiny animals have overwintered in shimmering bubble nests perched atop blue willow trees, drawing tourists from far and wide. This year, however, not a single hummingbear has returned to Perchance, and no one knows why. When a handmade birthday gift brings unexpected magic to Willodeen and her new friend, Connor, she's determined to speak up for the animals she loves, and perhaps even uncover the answer to the mystery of the missing hummingbears. A timely and timeless tale about our fragile earth, and one girl's fierce determination to make a difference.
