內容簡介

內容簡介 少年小說《加我一個》 邀請你一同反思種族平等議題 兩個原本互不往來的中學生竟意外變成了好朋友。某一天，有印度血統的Karina和爺爺受到了陌生人的攻擊，她的朋友決定和她一起在社群媒體發聲，反對種族歧視。他們的貼文引起廣大迴響，許多人紛紛加入他們的行列。 作者瓦爾莎．巴傑伊是印度裔美國兒童文學作家，寫童書也寫少年小說。她用這本小說激勵讀者反思種族平等的議題。一個人人平等而公平的美好世界需要更多人一起加入反種族歧視的陣營。即使年紀還小，也能發出有力量的聲音。An uplifting story, told through the alternating voices of two middle-schoolers, in which a community rallies to reject racism. Karina Chopra would have never imagined becoming friends with the boy next door--after all, they've avoided each other for years and she assumes Chris is just like the boys he hangs out with, who she labels a pack of hyenas. Then Karina's grandfather starts tutoring Chris, and she discovers he's actually a nice, funny kid. But one afternoon something unimaginable happens--the three of them are assaulted by a stranger who targets Indian-American Karina and her grandfather because of how they look. Her grandfather is gravely injured and Karina and Chris vow not to let hate win. When Karina posts a few photos related to the attack on social media, they quickly attract attention, and before long her #CountMeIn post--"What does an American look like? #immigrants #WeBelong #IamAmerican #HateHasNoHomeHere"--goes viral and a diverse population begin to add their own photos. Then, when Papa is finally on the road to recovery, Karina uses her newfound social media reach to help celebrate both his homecoming and a community coming together.
