★第21屆「十本好讀」小學組候選書籍

美麗而獨特的寫實傳記X別具藝術風格的科普繪本

  瓊安.普洛克特從小就對兩棲爬蟲動物特別著迷,
  陪扮瓊安長大的不是洋娃娃,而是滑溜溜又全身長滿鱗片的蜥蜴,
  瓊安甚至在十六歲生日時,得到一隻鱷魚寶寶作為生日禮物。
  長大後的瓊安,最初在大英博物館的分館——自然歷史博物館的爬蟲與魚類館工作,後來成為倫敦動物園的首位女性爬行動物館長,更成為全球著名的英國動物學家。

  透過生動的文字和明亮的插畫,科學家兼作家派翠西亞和插畫家費里希妲完美呈現出瓊安對於動物的熱情,和鼓舞人心的經歷。圖文並茂的描繪了這位科學界女性先行者的故事,她不但在當時轟動了全世界,也為後來世界各地女性動物學者鋪了一條平坦的路徑。

  這不僅是一本名人傳記繪本,更是一部以熱情撰寫的生命教育繪本。

本書特色

  ☆以恆心和熱情點燃生命的亮點☆

  在瓊安.普洛克特短暫的一生中,她盡己所能的付諸自己的熱情與心力在自己所愛的動物上,追尋著自己堅持的目標,不畏懼他人的眼光,不在乎世俗的言論。即使身體被病痛所折磨而中斷學業,瓊安仍堅持自己的研究,甚至還撰寫發表了許多相關的文獻,最終成為一名傑出的兩棲爬行動物學家,並深受科學界的愛戴和尊重。

  ★親人的支持是追尋夢想的最佳助力★
  當一般的小女孩獲得洋娃娃做為生日禮物的同時,瓊安卻獲得了一隻鱷魚寶寶做為生日禮物,這在當時是多麼不可思議的一件事啊!或許瓊安對爬蟲動物的熱情與摯愛,也脫離不了親人的理解與支持。在追尋夢想的里程上,沒有人是一帆風順的,但來自親人的理解與支持,將是最好的助力,能支撐自己走得更長更遠。

  ☆適合孩子也適合大人的繪本☆
  在孩子閱讀此書後,父母可以帶著孩子共同思考自己生命的亮點,尋找能讓自己快樂又喜歡的事,並且創造屬於自己的幸福。而成人在閱讀此書的時候,也不妨想想我們在追尋夢想的道路上,是否如同瓊安一般,堅持燃燒自己的熱情,不畏懼他人言論,並且努力不懈。因此,這本書適合任何年齡的讀者,適合想找到自己生命中光亮的讀者,它將幫助我們成就專屬於自己的一片風景。

  ★作者與繪者的完美結合★
  科學、女性、爬蟲是三個乍看之下毫無關係的單詞,卻在這本繪本裡,做了最完美的融合。作者以簡明暢快略帶趣味的書寫風格,將瓊安的一生娓娓道來;而繪者以鮮明的色彩和美麗的圖騰詮釋書中的爬蟲動物們,將動物的肢體描繪得栩栩如生,卻又帶著獨特的藝術風格,可以說在科學繪圖與藝術詮釋上做出了完美的結合。作者與繪者的合作為我們帶來了一本美麗而獨特的寫實傳記,更是一本具有藝術風格的科普繪本。

劉清彥


  從小看見爬蟲類就會遠遠避走,所以對瓊安.普洛克特佩服得五體投地,向出版社主編毛遂自薦翻譯這本書(雖然看見書裡畫的爬蟲類還是有點毛毛的)。喜歡跟小孩說故事,也喜歡為他們譯、寫童書,更喜歡和他們沒大沒小的打打鬧鬧,只要他們不抓著小蜥蜴來嚇人就好。

Interesting
Format: Kindle
This was a very captivating book once you got into it thoroughly. But the third person perspective was a bit hard to get used to. But as you got into it and followed the different characters, it was interesting and filled with intrigue, conflict and forbidden love. I can’t wait to read the next one and to complete the series.

OUTSTANDING
Format: Kindle
This was very, very good. The world is vast and characters are complex. There is a good plot with a whole lot going on. This is well written. Good twists and turns and some heart breaking moments. You will love these characters, they have heart and loyalty. I am hoping that there will be several more books. We've yet to see anything from the Sea Court but only a mention of them here and there. The Wood Court was given a quick couple of scenes, and only as far as some warriors, we've yet to enter their court and the Shadow Court, I'm not sure if they will be a force for good or bad, but they definitely will play a much bigger role moving forward. This is primarily the Ice and Air Courts. Told in multiple views, which I loved, it gives you a chance to see things from different eyes. There's alot of political maneuvering and deception. I loved it and will pick up the next book as it becomes available. If you like The Fae and the courts, you should love this. I think the author has mucn in store for us.

Definitely worth the read!
Format: Kindle
After taking a deep breath and taking in that wicked twist of an ending, I have finally composed myself. My first thought when I started this book was that I love Reyna's character. I was intrigued by her connection with her familiar and the Ruin that is plaguing her land. It came as no surprise that she took her sister's place in an attempt to protect her. When they reach the Air Court everything slows down. This is where it was iffy for me. First of all, I like multiple POV's in books however 7 is a bit much. It starts to interrupt the story line. I felt like I was finally making progress connecting with one character, then it was switched to another person. I felt they all had necessary or pertinent information but not necessarily were they all POV worthy. The only other thing that annoyed me was that Reyna constantly was " trapped." She would rush off without thinking, only to need rescuing. She is brilliant in a fight, but she really doesn't think through anything. Lorcan is amazing. I know he might be on the "bad" list, but his background is so interesting. Eislyn(Reyna's sister) is really so sweet, but calculating. I enjoyed her and Thane's dialogue. The author did an amazing job with the imagery in this book. Everything was so detailed it was easy to fall into the scene. I love unexpected twists and while part of the ending I expected, I wasn't expecting how it took place. All in all, I found it very entertaining and I am very invested in continuing this series. Favorite quotes: "The truth may be twisted but never false." "Who was she if she was not the enemy of the Air Court? What was her purpose of she no longer has that?" "In a war-torn land, love was always a lie."

Great Read!!! Great story!!!
Format: Kindle
The series is long, but Ms. Wolfhart does a fantastic job of weaving this tale while bringing so much to the characters. Surprises and plot twists along the way to keep you intrigued. There is some graphic sex, but is no way the focal point. Grammar was excellent (a rare find with a lot of self publishers) with only a few noted errors. I rarely give 4 stars, let alone 5.

Sadly, DNF
Format: Kindle
I read this thru KU. I LOVED the synopsis. And then I began reading... and it was a DNF at 68% after picking it up and putting it down several times because I really loved the main female character. *****SPOILERS***** Pros: The world is unique, intriguing and fun. The primary female character is bad-a** but not a b*tech or a mary sue. The primary female has depth. I really want to know what happens to her even tho it's been weeks and I don't remember her name. The villains to the point I read are pretty good -- an ever present threat of mysterious and possibly many culprits. Cons: Way, way too many points of view. I stopped counting at 7. It's the prime reason why I don't care about most of the characters or remember their names even when I like them. There's just too many points of view so almost none of the characters have enough book space for the author to properly develop them. This literally killed the book for me. Actually it killed my desire to read. For weeks. The main male is more villain than hero. He agreed to marry the main female then locks her up & eschews her for her sister, all while bad mouthing her as unfit to rule when he never spent any time with her getting to know her. He is actually unfit to rule as he is blind to the woes of his own kingdom and starts off a peace mission to secure a ceasefire through marriage by murdering an inn full of people in her country for no real reason. Plus, he constantly makes promises he does not keep. And it's gross of him to pine for the sister behind the main female's back. ***** As much as I really wanted to see what happened to the main female character, it wasn't enough for me to keep trying to slog thru this book. There was a lot of potential here that just fell short. Hence, 3 stars.
