熊貓英文圖書獎(jiǎng)(Panda Book Awards) 始于2008年。當(dāng)時(shí),來自北京的幾大國(guó)際學(xué)校的圖書管理員們,為了幫助孩子們找到當(dāng)前流行的,受歡迎的書目,組成了熊貓獎(jiǎng)委員會(huì)(Panda Awards Steering Committee)。 首先,這些老師們,自己先讀各種書,不同年齡段,不同題材,不同流派,不同風(fēng)格。之后,一起討論,評(píng)價(jià),篩選,同時(shí)也參考其他老師,學(xué)生的推薦。最后,列出一份精挑細(xì)選的,緊跟圖書界國(guó)際潮流的,涵蓋多樣主題的,英文進(jìn)階圖書清單。一共四個(gè)年齡段,每個(gè)段,8到10本書。

從暑假起,孩子們就開始讀。等中國(guó)新年假回來后,開始投票,一個(gè)年齡段選出一本最受大家喜愛的。這就是熊貓英文圖書獎(jiǎng),上一年度的評(píng)選結(jié)果如下:▼

8年來,熊貓英文圖書獎(jiǎng)的影響力不斷上升。開始時(shí),還只在北京的國(guó)際學(xué)校圈里流行,發(fā)展到上一屆,來自6個(gè)國(guó)家,40多所國(guó)際學(xué)校,5700多名學(xué)生,參與了投票。

那么今年,在新一輪書單中,哪一本,將是你的最愛呢?

The War That Saved My Life ▼

故事簡(jiǎn)介:

Nine-year-old Ada has never left her one-room apartment. Her mother is too humiliated by Ada’s twisted foot to let her outside. So when her little brother Jamie is shipped out of London to escape the war, Ada doesn’t waste a minute - she sneaks out to join him.

So begins a new adventure of Ada, and for Susan Smith, the woman who is forced to take the two kids in. As Ada teaches herself to ride a pony, learns to read, and watches for German spies, she begins to trust Susan - and Susan begins to love Ada and Jamie. But in the end, will their bond be enough to hold them together through war time? Or will Ada and her brother fall back into the cruel hands of their mother?

9歲的Ada從來都沒有離開過自己的單間公寓。她的腳有殘疾,媽媽覺得這是一件非常丟臉的事,所以就把Ada關(guān)在屋里,不讓出去。當(dāng)?shù)艿躂amie被運(yùn)往倫敦,以躲避戰(zhàn)爭(zhēng)時(shí),Ada也毫不猶豫地從家里逃了出來,上了船。

Enormous Smallness: A Story of E. E. Cummings
 

故事簡(jiǎn)介:

An illustrated, brief overview of the life of E. E. Cummings. Here E.E.'s life is presented in a way that will make children curious about him and will lead them to play with words and ask plenty of questions as well. Lively and informative, the book also presents some of Cummings's most wonderful poems, integrating them seamlessly into the story to give the reader the music of his voice and a spirited, sensitive introduction to his poetry.

這是一本介紹美國(guó)詩人肯明思 (E.E. Cummings) 的書。奇妙處在于,既生動(dòng)又詳細(xì)地描述肯明思的這一生,同時(shí),也潤(rùn)物細(xì)無聲地激發(fā)孩子們的思考,讓他們問出一連串的問題。書中所節(jié)選的詩歌,更是一步一步引導(dǎo)孩子們?nèi)ンw驗(yàn)文字的神奇力量。

找來度娘,簡(jiǎn)單介紹一下這位詩人,肯明思1915年畢業(yè)于哈佛大學(xué),畢業(yè)的演說以《新藝術(shù)》為題,對(duì)現(xiàn)代藝術(shù),主要是立體主義,未來主義的繪畫,作了大膽的肯定。

第一次世界大戰(zhàn)期間,肯明思參加過救護(hù)車隊(duì)在法國(guó)戰(zhàn)地的工作,進(jìn)過集中營(yíng),之后用超現(xiàn)實(shí)主義手法,把這段經(jīng)歷寫進(jìn)《巨大的房間》一書。戰(zhàn)后在巴黎和紐約學(xué)習(xí)繪畫,并開始寫詩,善于用辛辣的譏諷,表達(dá)他對(duì)現(xiàn)實(shí)生活中丑惡面的蔑視和挑戰(zhàn)??厦魉及熏F(xiàn)代資本主義社會(huì)中野蠻的爭(zhēng)奪,感情上的冷漠,行為中的偽善稱為“非人類”或“非世界”,以漫畫式的筆調(diào),加以嘲弄和鞭撻。

肯明斯有些詩集的題名離奇古怪, 詩行參差不齊, 在語法和用詞上也是別出心裁。詞語任意分裂,標(biāo)點(diǎn)符號(hào)異乎尋常,除了強(qiáng)調(diào)一般不用大寫,將“I”寫成“i”, 將自己的名字寫成了“e.e.cummings”, 因此他又常常被稱為“小寫的肯明思” 。

What if it’s something even more extraordinary? After all, more than a few superheroes’ careers began when they turned green. Could this be a sign that he’s meant for something greater? Rory is going to find out - and that’s going to start with escaping from the hospital. 

Rory莫名其妙全身變綠后,就被送到了研究所。當(dāng)眾多科學(xué)家百思不得其解時(shí),Rory也產(chǎn)生各種疑問:和基因有關(guān)?和病毒有關(guān)?和自己吃的東西有關(guān)?可是如果都不是呢?難道這代表著自己要去做一些驚天動(dòng)地的大事?畢竟有好幾個(gè)人在變成超級(jí)英雄前也是全身都變綠了。。。Rory想要弄個(gè)明白,那么,第一步就要想辦法從醫(yī)院的研究所里逃出來。

Soon Rudger is alone, and running for his imaginary life. He needs to find Amanda before Mr. Bunting catches him, and before Amanda forgets him and he fades away to nothing. But how can an unreal boy stand alone in the real world?

Rudger是Amanda想象出來的玩伴。除了Amanda外,沒人可以看到他,直到有一天一個(gè)叫做Mr. Bunting的人來到Amanda家門前。Mr. Bunting專門抓那些假想人,據(jù)說他還會(huì)把他們統(tǒng)統(tǒng)給吃掉。現(xiàn)在,Mr. Bunting發(fā)現(xiàn)了Rudger, 他的下一步行動(dòng)就是要抓到他。

為了躲避Mr. Bunting, Rudger拼命地逃。他不想被抓住,不想被Amada忘記,更不想從此消失掉,所以無論如何,他都要找到Amanda??墒?,像他這樣一個(gè)不真實(shí)的人,在這樣一個(gè)真實(shí)的世界中,又該如何堅(jiān)持下去呢?

As the end of summer nears and her first roller derby bout (and junior high!) draws closer, Astrid realizes that maybe she is strong enough to handle the bout, a lost friendship, and middle school… in short, strong enough to be a roller girl.

在她十二年的大部分時(shí)間里,Astrid和她的好朋友Nicole都形影不離。后來Astrid愛上了輪滑,還報(bào)名參加了輪滑夏令營(yíng)??墒荖icole不愿一起去,她選擇去跳舞。于是,兩個(gè)發(fā)小就這么分開,各做各的。這樣的情形讓Astrid感到很糾結(jié),一方面,自己得努力跟上營(yíng)地里那些大姐姐們的節(jié)奏,另一方面,還得維持好和Nicole的關(guān)系,不至于兩人變得更生疏。暑假結(jié)束前,Astrid有場(chǎng)輪滑比賽要打。日子一天天接近時(shí),Astrid也逐漸意識(shí)到,或許自己并沒有那么弱,她是可以處理好眼下這一切的,比賽也好,朋友相處也好,中學(xué)生活也好,更重要的是,做一個(gè)真正的roller girl!

Roller Girl出版后就獲得了五星評(píng)級(jí),也是2016年紐伯瑞兒童文學(xué)獎(jiǎng)銀獎(jiǎng)作品之一。作者Victoria Jamieson巧妙地將各種主題融入到故事中,關(guān)于友誼,關(guān)于堅(jiān)持,關(guān)于girl power (女孩力量)!
