紐伯瑞獎作品
「令人心碎、妙趣橫生，又充滿寬厚的救贖力量。」—Kirkus（星級評論）
本年度評價極高的兒童小說之一，一隻「未完全死亡」的狐狸與一隻「完全死亡」的獾，不情願地攜手合作，只為改寫各自的命運——特別推薦給喜愛 Kate DiCamillo 與 Tim Burton 作品的讀者。
Clare 是 Deadwood Forest 的不死狐狸。這裡的樹葉永遠停留在秋天——既不完全凋零，也不真正鮮活——就像 Clare 一樣。
多年前他被車撞上，在生與死之間徘徊時獲得了一個選擇：跨越到來世（Afterlife），或成為引導流浪靈魂的「Usher」。Clare 選擇後者，過著孤獨的生活，替靈魂指引最終歸宿。
直到某天，一個名叫 Gingersnipes 的獾之靈敲響了他的門，打破了平靜。儘管 Clare 盡力引導她前往 Afterlife，Gingersnipes 卻無法離開 Deadwood。
這前所未見、令人困惑，也威脅著生死之間脆弱的平衡。
為尋求解答，Clare 與 Gingersnipes 踏上危險旅程，尋找曾預言 Deadwood 將發生動盪的預言家：松雞 Hesterfowl。然而當他們抵達後，Hesterfowl 揭露的驚人真相，讓 Clare 心碎、憤怒，並決心不惜一切改變命運。
A Newbery Honor Book!
"Heartbreaking, marvelously funny, and generously redemptive." ―Kirkus, starred review
In one of the best-reviewed children’s books of the year, an undead fox and an entirely dead badger begrudgingly team up to change their destinies—perfect for fans of Kate DiCamillo and Tim Burton.
Clare is the undead fox of Deadwood Forest. Here, leaves grow in a perpetual state of fall: not quite dead, but not quite alive—just like Clare. Long ago, he was struck by a car, and, hovering between life and death, he was given the choice to either cross into the Afterlife or become an Usher of wandering souls. Clare chose the latter: a solitary life of guiding souls to their final resting place.
Clare’s quiet and predictable days are met with upheaval when a badger soul named Gingersnipes knocks on his door. Despite Clare’s efforts to usher her into the Afterlife, the badger is unable to leave Deadwood. This is unprecedented. Baffling. A disturbing mystery which threatens the delicate balance between the living and the dead.
Desperate for help, Clare and Gingersnipes set out on a treacherous journey to find Hesterfowl—the visionary grouse who recently foretold of turmoil in Deadwood. But upon their arrival, Hesterfowl divulges a shocking revelation that leaves Clare devastated, outraged, and determined to do anything to change his fate.

各界推薦
"The journey that Clare and Gingersnipes take together made me wish I was a kid reading The Undead Fox of Deadwood Forest by flashlight long after I was supposed to be asleep in bed. I cannot wait for young readers to fall in love with this story and these unforgettable characters."―Colby Sharp, educator and author of The Creativity Project
"Aubrey Hartman expertly braids together a fast-paced plot with lively humor and poignant philosophy in this warm hug of a novel. Soulful and heartfelt."―Kamilla Benko, USA Today bestselling author of The Unicorn Quest
"If you could transform into a book the feeling of sitting by a bonfire on a crisp October night with a bright harvest moon, holding a mug of warm, sweet apple cider and listening to the best spooky story you’ve ever heard, you would end up with this book. It’s pure autumnal, ghostly, whimsical, profound perfection."―Jeff Zentner, award-winning author of THE SERPENT KING
★ "Heartbreaking, marvelously funny, and generously redemptive."―Kirkus, starred review
★ "...a riveting and morally complex tale populated by flawed, fully realized characters navigating realistic emotions."―Publishers Weekly, starred review
★ "To tuck such a deeply felt tale of self-discovery and love in such a delightfully raucous adventure is quite the feat, and Hartman’s sophomore outing is surely a classic in the making. Readers will not soon forget Clare and Gingersnipes—and they’ll be thrilled by the revelation of the unknown narrator and an ending that potentially promises more adventures."―BCCB, starred review
★ "Hartman's animal fantasy is lightly macabre in its trappings but sweet and uplifting in substance, and the conversational narration adds an extra layer of whimsy to the proceedings. This tale of self-love and acceptance makes the most of its unique setting and the memorable characters found there."―Booklist, starred review
“Told in beautiful prose and with rich imagery, this is a deep story about death, loss, and grief, but also about compassion, finding meaning, and discovering what one really is made of in the face of the strongest adversity.”―School Library Journal
"The dry humor, an amusingly intrusive narrator, and a touch of nostalgia intertwine to create an endearingly strange snapshot of a cottage-core world caught between life, death, and the afterlife."―The Horn Book
