Rate this book
要是艾迪和我在五岁的时候“解决”了,又会怎么样?我会消失,艾迪的生活会大不相同。没有医生预约,没有治疗专家,没有药物。操场上没有侧目回避。没有老师的窃窃私语。没有诺南德,没有波瓦特,也没有汉斯……美国销量过百万的科幻小说,一人双魂的奇妙世界一个强烈渴望认可的新颖故事;技艺娴熟,描述栩栩如生——LissaPrice令人震惊的du家故事重新定义了人类的含义。——LaurenDestefano把书藏在课桌下面,天黑之后仍久坐不起的读者。最终,我们的生活都是故事。——凯特·张序言追忆童年,很少有人比得上我。一般说来,人们长大就有了自由;我却失去了自由。我是隐性人,生来比艾迪弱。每每当我们争着要为共有的躯体做主时她总是赢。她注定会赢,而我必输,前途已写入我们的基因。我们十二岁的时候,我似乎即将落入隐性人注定的命运:消失。但我并没消失,只是失去了一切自由:不能说话,无法走动,无权得到他人的认可,除了与我共享躯体的艾迪之外。因此我对童年记得很清楚。因为尽管长期受到约束,那却是我对自由仅有的记忆。直到遇见丽萨、哈莉、赖安和戴文,我才开始思考未来,而不是过去。他们也是双生人。他们明白藏在暗处生活意味着什么,还教我如何重新掌控自己的躯体。可现在,我们全都再次被迫不停地奔波,为了安身,东躲西藏。我重拾儿时记忆,想起那万般好处,种种温情,在陈年往事中寻得安慰。想什么呢?一天夜里艾迪问我。我们都被塞进车里,彼得开着车,莱安纳医生坐在旁边。我们其他人坐在后面两排,肩膀挨肩膀,挤作一团,车窗摇上来,关得紧紧的,把冷风挡在外面。罗盘星。我说。我的童年回忆也是艾迪的回忆。我们被劈成两半,相依为命,一个双生人,活在一个不给双生人合法身份的国家。知道罗盘星的时候,我们还不懂这些,因而那段回忆弥足珍贵。那时艾迪和我三四岁年纪,我们全家去野营。我们的小弟莱尔还没出生,所以只有我们四个人:妈妈、爸爸、艾迪和我。我记得第一次在山中吸着清新的空气所看见的星星的样子。此前我们这些孩子看惯了城市的夜晚和灯光。那些星星大得让我们吃惊。记得吗?我说,过去我们露营时爸爸总给我们讲那些星座,不过他老是……老是一点也想不起罗盘星的故事。艾迪说。她的微笑将我们的嘴唇拉成一条弧线。那是在我大脑边缘的一种温暖,在那里我把握十足地感受到她的存在,就像感受自己的心跳一样。我记得。我们陷入回忆,当大路飞驰而过时以回忆相互慰藉。一切太快,一周过去了。接着是一周又一周。艾迪和我慢慢可以走路了,我们脚踝和身上的伤痛以及最后几天在安绰特的痛苦回忆也渐渐消退了。波瓦特研究所的爆炸——警察突袭——穿过昏黑的街道仓皇逃跑——这些记忆永远不会彻底放手,将一直缠着我们。但是我们试图用幸福的回忆遮掩住那些痛苦。艾迪和我引着大家讲故事。四处藏身,不知身在何方,几乎无事可做。刚开始我们一直看新闻,但电视屏幕显示出我们的脸的样子以及我们的名字,不厌其烦地播报我们的罪行:兰开斯特广场“爆炸”和波瓦特爆炸。过了一段时间,恐惧和不安潜入我们的内心,侵蚀我们。艾米利亚说:“他们老是讲同样的事情,一遍又一遍的。把它关掉行吗?”于是就关了。不过呢,我们却聚在楼上的走廊里,或是围在餐桌旁,或是躺在露出线头的长沙发上。如果是由赖安

Kat Zhang spent most of her childhood tramping through a world weaved from her favorite stories and games. When she and her best friend weren't riding magic horses or talking to trees, they were writing adaptations of plays for their stuffed animals (what would The Wizard of Oz have been like if the Cowardly Lion were replaced by a Loquacious Lamb?). This may or may not explain many of Kat's quirks today.

By the age of twelve, Kat had started her first novel and begun plans for her life as a Real Live Author (she was rather more confident at twelve than she is even now). Said plans didn't come into fruition until seven years later, when her agent sold her Young Adult trilogy, The Hybrid Chronicles, to HarperCollins. The series, about a parallel universe where everyone is born with two souls, concluded in 2014.

Her two upcoming Middle Grade novels will be released in 2017 and 2018 with Simon & Schuster. The first, The Emperor's Riddle, is about hidden treasure, lost aunts, and China. The second, The Memory of Forgotten Things, is about parallel universes (again), solar eclipses, and misfit children.

Kat is represented by Emmanuelle Morgen of Stonesong. She also contributes to Pub(lishing) Crawl, a site for aspiring writers to talk about books, storytelling craft, and the publishing process.
