一百個櫃子（三部曲之第一部）
作 者：N. D. Wilson
（精裝，2007年12月初版）
十二歲的亨利有一天晚上醒來，聽到閣樓的牆壁發出砰砰聲，覺察到頭髮上黏著灰泥碎屑。這是一棟陌生的房子，是他舅舅、舅媽和三個表兄弟的家，寄人籬下，他不好說什麼。可是他床頭的牆壁上有兩塊瘤節竟然鬆動了，其中一個正在緩緩轉動…亨利撥開牆上的碎屑，發現裡面有各種大小和形狀不一的櫃子。其中一個會發出雨滴聲。他從另外一個洞看見裡面有一間發光的房間，有個男人來回踱著方步。亨利很快便明白這些不僅是櫃子，而是通往其他世界的入口。他該從哪一個櫃子開始探險？
《一百個櫃子》是一個全新奇幻探險故事的第一部，作者採取跳脫時空的傳統基調，加入他個人獨到的敘事風格。
第二部《蒲公英之火》（Dandelion
Fire）預計2008.12初版
Summary
Henry, Kansas, is a hot town. And
a cold town. It is a town so still there are times when you can hear a fly
trying to get through the window of the locked-up antique store on Main Street.
Nobody remembers who owns the antique store, but if you press your face
against the glass, like the fly, you'll see that whoever they are, they
don't have much beyond a wide variety of wagon wheels. Yes, Henry is a
still town. But there have been tornadoes on Main Street. If the wind blows, it's
like it won't ever stop. Once it's stopped, there seems to be no hope of
getting it started again.
There is a bus station in Henry, but it isn't on Main Street. It's one block
north--the town fathers hadn't wanted all the additional traffic. The
station lost one- third of its roof to a tornado fifteen years ago. In the
same summer, a bottle rocket brought the gift of fire to its restrooms. The
damage has never been repaired, but the town council makes sure that the building
is painted fresh every other year, and always the color of a swimming pool.
There is never graffiti. Vandals would have to drive more than twenty miles
to buy the spray paint.
