人聲雜沓的倫敦地鐵中,有個小小翅膀人的平行世界…

當11歲的愛迪(Edie)在倫敦地鐵上找到了一個神祕盒子,她趕忙將盒子交付給任職於倫敦地鐵失物招領處的爸爸。但就在去找爸爸的路上,愛迪意外發現這個盒子竟然是「小小翅膀人」的家,裡頭住著Impy、Speckle、Nid。而他們需要愛迪的幫忙。

他們需要的不只有食物,比方糖果粒、消化餅、葡萄乾,還有一個可以照顧他們的人。最重要的是,他們的兄弟Jot跑走了,而小小翅膀人需要愛迪幫忙找到他。

愛迪一次細膩的觀察,讓她步入了一場意想不到的友誼之中。而這場發跡於倫敦地鐵上的相遇,最終又會讓愛迪與小小翅膀人走向何處?

作者Kate Wilkinson表示,她常在倫敦海布里與依斯靈頓的月台度過許多換車時分,她總是盯著月台間的的老鼠奔走,心想著地鐵站中是否有個平行時空,有著奇妙生物住在那,而這也是本書的發跡。

● 媒體報導

A charming story in the tradition of The Borrowers about little flying people, visible to only children, who live in the Underground and are found by a rather happy 11-year-old girl.― Sunday Times

A fresh new tale. [...] Edie is a lovely character [...] it is great to see a female lead driving the story on and we should never underestimate the value of children seeing girls in this way. An enjoyable read that teaches us that looking closer can lead to adventures galore. -- North East Teacher ― The Great British Book Worm

It's all about when your childhood is changing into 'teen-hood' and what happens to your friends, your imagination, and the games you used to play in the playground. -- Maryam Zakir-Hussain ― Ham High

Set against the backdrop of London and its Underground network, Wilkinson's action-packed and heartwarming story about friendship and family reminds us all to notice the little things in life and to treasure each other, however big or small we might be. -- Pam Norfolk ― The Gazette

A terrific class read aloud for older KS2 listeners as well as for individuals who like books with a touch of enchantment or a classic feel. I can't wait for the next one in the series.- Jill R Bennett, Red Reading Hub

Edie and the Box of Flits is just enchanting. Their small world is built so beautifully by the author within the huge cavernous space of the Underground tunnels. It is a charming, detailed and carefully crafted story and so visually appealing . . . A lovely story about friendship, family and how the little things in life should never pass you by!- Jennifer Caddick, Reading Zone
