各界推薦

各界推薦 “Unique and thoroughly engaging. Life Hacks for a Little Alien tells a story about feeling different. It is insightful and funny and gently poignant. By telling the story of one little alien, Alice Franklin has told the story of many. By creating a character obsessed with an ancient manuscript whose text cannot be deciphered, she has illuminated the power of language and our desire, whether we are human or alien, to be understood. I was reading other books when I picked this up, but after reading the first page I could not put it down—the other books had to wait.”―Pip Williams, New York Times bestselling author of the Reese Witherspoon Book Club pick The Dictionary of Lost Words“Franklin’s fresh debut, inspired by her experience with autism, centers on an unnamed girl in southeast England known as Little Alien. . . . Franklin delightfully renders her neurodivergent protagonist’s attempt to make sense of what’s 'normal' and to understand how language works. This has plenty of heart.”―Publishers Weekly"Originality and cerebral playfulness combine with affecting family drama to make a satisfying, lively novel."―Kirkus Reviews
