內容簡介
【2025 紐伯瑞金獎作品】
當12歲的Michael Rosario遇到來自未來的神秘男孩時，他的生活被徹底改變了。這本書來自暢銷書作家Erin Entrada Kelly，曾憑《Hello, Universe》獲得紐伯瑞獎，並以《We Dream of Space》獲得紐伯瑞榮譽獎。本書探索了家庭、友誼、信任與寬恕等主題。《The First State of Being》是瑞貝卡·斯泰德（Rebecca Stead）的《When You Reach Me》粉絲的必讀之作。
故事發生在1999年8月。對12歲的Michael Rosario來說，位於特拉華州Red Knot的Fox Run公寓裡的生活一如往常——除了即將來臨的Y2K危機和他對15歲保母Gibby的強烈迷戀。但當一位迷失方向的少年男孩Ridge突然出現時，Michael發現，生活中有比囤積物資和單相思Gibby更重要的事。
原來Ridge無憂無慮、自信大膽，這些都是Michael所渴望擁有的特質。然而與Michael不同，Ridge並不在他該待的地方。當Ridge透露自己是世界上第一位時間旅行者時，Michael和Gibby既震驚又好奇。隨著Ridge融入1999年生活——對微波爐、籃球和購物中心充滿好奇——Michael發現他的新朋友擁有一本記載未來二十年事件的書，這使得他的好奇心轉變為另一種情感：專注的決心。Michael想——不，必須——得到那本書。否則，他該如何為未來做準備呢？但為了得到它，他願意付出多少代價？
這是一個關於時間旅行、友誼、尋找家庭與初戀的故事，這本主題豐富的小說以其獨特的語言風格、人物發展、背景設定以及對中年級讀者共鳴問題的探索而脫穎而出。
A FINALIST FOR THE 2024 NATIONAL BOOK AWARD
When twelve-year-old Michael Rosario meets a mysterious boy from the future, his life is changed forever. From bestselling author Erin Entrada Kelly, winner of the Newbery Medal for Hello, Universe and a Newbery Honor for We Dream of Space, this novel explores themes of family, friendship, trust, and forgiveness. The First State of Being is for fans of Rebecca Stead’s When You Reach Me.
It's August 1999. For twelve-year-old Michael Rosario, life at Fox Run Apartments in Red Knot, Delaware, is as ordinary as ever—except for the looming Y2K crisis and his overwhelming crush on his fifteen-year-old babysitter, Gibby. But when a disoriented teenage boy named Ridge appears out of nowhere, Michael discovers there is more to life than stockpiling supplies and pining over Gibby.
It turns out that Ridge is carefree, confident, and bold, things Michael wishes he could be. Unlike Michael, however, Ridge isn’t where he belongs. When Ridge reveals that he’s the world’s first time traveler, Michael and Gibby are stunned but curious. As Ridge immerses himself in 1999—fascinated by microwaves, basketballs, and malls—Michael discovers that his new friend has a book that outlines the events of the next twenty years, and his curiosity morphs into something else: focused determination. Michael wants—no, needs—to get his hands on that book. How else can he prepare for the future? But how far is he willing to go to get it?
A story of time travel, friendship, found family, and first loves, this thematically rich novel is distinguished by its voice, character development, setting, and exploration of the issues that resonate with middle grade readers.

各界推薦
“This short but suspenseful novel is Rebecca Stead’s When You Reach Me meets Tae Keller’s Jennifer Chan is Not Alone. Though it takes place at the turn of the millennium, modern readers will be able to identify with Michael’s anxieties over the future of the world, and find his journey compelling.” — BookPage (starred review)
“A teen time traveler from 2199 visits 1999 and befriends an endearing, anxious tween boy in this wholesome and splendidly entertaining middle-grade novel about embracing the unknown. Kelly has written one of the kindest boys in children's literature.”
— Shelf Awareness
“Kelly has deftly assembled a community of empathetically rendered characters, making this an enjoyable, uplifting reading experience. The elements of sci-fi will be enough to sate fans of the genre while remaining approachable for all audiences. A lovable cast buoys this time travel drama by one of the most reliable authors in children’s literature." — School Library Journal
“An epilogue reveals a delicious, thought-provoking twist on a question posed early on by Kelly: would the disruption of time influence past, present, or future events?” — Publishers Weekly
“Kelly’s memorable character development is on full display as anxious and sensitive Michael learns to embrace the present, while Ridge’s charming misuse of slang adds humor to this amusing ride. A warmhearted blend of nostalgia and futurism.” — Kirkus Reviews
“Newbery winner Kelly gives us a time-travel book that stays grounded, despite the subject matter, and draws on the power of human connection through time and space . . . a solid emotional core will treat readers who love stories about found family and bravery, as well as those who would empathize with Michael’s anxieties about the unknown future.” — Booklist
“Michael serves as an admirable foil to Ridge’s privilege, and the book takes care to highlight his empathy as he struggles to figure out how to find and keep joy in a world filled with pain. Indeed, it is Michael—anxious, vulnerable, and ultimately brave—who will carry readers of all ages to the book’s close.” — Bulletin of the Center for Children’s Books
“Kelly neatly grounds the mind-bending what-ifs of cause, effect, and the nature of time with real, present relationships and situations. . . . A well-crafted adventure surrounding a big philosophical idea with a side of middle-grade romance. . . . Tantalizing.” — Horn Book Magazine
