平克頓偵探如何拯救林肯總統?

來自獲獎無數的作者馬麗莎.莫斯的第一本童書《從不睡覺的眼睛》(The Eye That Never Sleeps),生動活潑,詼諧逗趣,是一本關於美國最偉大偵探之一的艾倫.平克頓(Allan Pinkerton)的故事。

每個人都知道亞伯拉罕.林肯的故事,但沒有幾個人知道拯救了他的偵探!

當艾倫.平克頓幫助芝加哥警察局追查一群偽造者,他的人生也隨之改變了;從那時起,他成為芝加哥第一位警方的偵探,並成立了全國最成功的偵探社,隨後更偵破超過三百起的謀殺案,並且追回數百萬美元的贓款。然而,他最大的貢獻是在一八六一年,亞伯拉罕‧林肯前往就職的途中保護他;儘管刺客試圖在半途謀殺林肯,平克頓阻撓了他們的陰謀,將總統安全地帶到了首都。

《從不睡覺的眼睛》以當代卡通的風格來敘述,更以一種吸引所有年齡層讀者的方式結合藝術與文字,內容還囊括了參考書目與時間表。

● 媒體報導

**STARRED REVIEW**
"Holmes (Secrets of the Dragon Tomb) employs a digital scratchboard technique for a woodcut look; the detailed illustrations invite detectivelike inspection, while the limited color palette and multi-paneled spreads evoke a graphic novel style . . . With a narrative that moves along effortlessly, his history of the company whose eyeball logo inspired the term “private eye” will keep aspiring sleuths hooked with its intrigue." ― Publishers Weekly

**STARRED REVIEW**
"The real deal for history enthusiasts." ― The Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books

**STARRED REVIEW**
"Few young people, besides history or Lincoln buffs, may know about this page in Lincoln’s life, making the book a useful addition to libraries. Digitally rendered scratchboard illustrations on dusty purple, brown, and orange backgrounds effectively recreate the Victorian era." ― School Library Connection

"Moss evokes a mysterious and exciting old-fashioned tale of espionage here. Holmes’s carefully researched artwork, which he explains in a note, was inspired by newspaper mastheads, period fashion, and even board games from the era . . . A great pick for kids who can’t get enough spy stories." ― School Library Journal

"Moss' prose is clear and engaging, filled with intriguing details . . . a thorough and compelling introduction to Pinkerton's work." ― Kirkus Reviews
