A Newbery Honor Book

"A hilarious, heartfelt triumph."—Kirkus Reviews (starred review)

From the singular imagination of National Book Award winner M. T. Anderson comes a magical adventure about a boy and his dog—or a dog and her boy—and a forest of wonders hidden in plain sight.

Clay has had his fill of home life. A global plague has brought the world to a screeching halt, and with little to look forward to but a summer of video-calling friends, vying with annoying sisters for the family computer, and tuning out his parents’ financial worries, he’s only too happy to retreat to the woods. From the moment the elegant little dog with the ornate collar appears like an apparition among the trees, Clay sees something uncanny in her. With this mysterious Elphinore as guide, he’ll glimpse ancient secrets folded all but invisibly into the forest. Each day the dog leads Clay down paths he never knew existed, deeper into the unknown. But they aren’t alone in their surreal adventures. There are traps and terrors in the woods, too, and if Clay isn’t careful, he might stray off the path and lose his way forever. Graced with evocative black-and-white illustrations by Junyi Wu, Elf Dog and Owl Head is heartfelt and exhilarating, wry and poignant, seamlessly merging the fantastic and the familiar in a tale both timely and timeless.

作者介紹

M. T. Anderson
As a child
“As a kid, I loved Handel’s music,” M. T. Anderson notes. “From the ages of ten to eighteen, as I hurtled from soprano down to bass, I ended up singing all four voice parts of the Messiah.” An avid fan of classical music, the author feels that Handel’s story is one that kids can relate to. “We all know the terrible feeling when something we’ve worked hard on has fallen flat,” he says. “Handel did, too. These are things kids want to hear about, and it helps to know that adults also have these experiences.” And what does he hope that kids will take away from reading his witty biography, Handel, Who Knew What He Liked? “The desire to smuggle a clavichord up to their rooms,” M. T. suggests. “It would be interesting if people reintroduced the clavichord, but maybe in a thrash or speedcore setting.”

As an adult
M. T. studied English literature at Harvard and Cambridge universities and received an MFA in Creative Writing from Syracuse University. Currently on the faculty of Vermont College’s MFA in Writing for Children Program, he lives in Boston, Massachusetts.

As an artist
In preparation for writing his acclaimed satirical novel Feed, M. T. admits to conducting his fair share of field research. “I read a huge number of American teen magazines like Seventeen and Stuff,” he confesses. “I listened to cell phone conversations in malls. Where else could you get lines like ‘Dude, I think the truffle is totally undervalued’?” Feed had its beginnings as a short story for a collection about literacy, but soon grew “too big” for that project. “My original idea was to write a story about a future time in which we had become so connected to a fast-paced world of media images that no one could read any more,” the author explains. “I wanted to depict how soul-destroying it is to be part of this media world that appears to be very inviting, but which in fact tends to strip away the eccentricities of personality and encourage people to become a market, rather than a human.”
