Fiona Orchard is nine years old, lives in Sydney, and has one talent nobody else has: the moment she falls asleep, she wakes up somewhere else.
She argues a council of red dragons out of a hatred none of them can remember starting. She flies Ptolemy off the planet in a rocket so the old astronomer can see for himself who orbits whom. She hands Einstein the missing step in his equation, and gets carried off by a short-sighted alien who mistakes her for her daughter. She becomes the richest princess in the world and discovers that a hundred rooms hold no friends at all.
Eight stories. Eight dreams. Each one over before dinner.
九岁的菲奥娜住在悉尼，有一项别人没有的本领：她一睡着，就会醒在另一个世界里。
在那里，她跟一群红龙讲道理，问它们究竟为什么讨厌绿龙，结果没有一只龙记得原因。她用火箭把托勒密带离地球，让这位古代学者亲眼看看到底是谁绕着谁转。她替爱因斯坦补上公式里缺掉的那一步，也被一只视力不太好的外星人当成女儿抓走。她当过全世界最有钱的公主，却发现一百个房间里连一个朋友都没有。
八个故事，八场梦，每一场都在晚餐前结束。
菲奥娜每次醒来都带回一点东西：关于偏见是怎么一代一代传下去的，关于分享，关于一个没有痛苦的世界为什么其实不值得羡慕。这些故事不说教，只是让她自己去撞上答案，有时候还把事情弄得更糟。
适合亲子共读，也适合刚开始自己读故事的孩子。
This bilingual edition sets the English and the Chinese on facing pages, paragraph for paragraph, so a reader can follow either side or move between them. It is made for families raising children in two languages, and for anyone learning one of them with a story worth finishing.
