一場即將氾濫的洪水,一名消失無蹤的演員
不允許「表演」的城市裡,戴著面具的妖精劇團悄悄來臨……
 
羅尼是女巫葛拉芭收養的孤兒,他沒有真正的家人,就連親生哥哥羅恩也因演戲遭到逮捕而下落不明。
 
妖精劇團的到來讓平靜的小城掀起一股風波,因為在這裡,演戲是犯法的,只有不是市民的妖精可以戴上面具演出。有天,羅尼好奇來到舞台前,妖精選上了他,羅尼站上台表演。
 
戴上巨人面具的羅尼覺得自己變身為強壯的巨人,充滿了勇氣與自信,也不會再被其他孤兒欺負。羅尼逃出女巫之家,戴上面具隱藏自己的人類身分,和妖精開始了流浪的劇團生活。
 
此時妖精告訴羅尼,他們也正在尋找他的哥哥羅恩。因為大洪水即將到來,只有具備演戲天分的哥哥羅恩有能力阻止災難的到來。面具男孩與妖精劇團將踏上尋找天才演員的旅程,他們來得及拯救城市免於毀滅嗎?羅尼能保持勇敢的心,一部喚起內在勇氣與潛能之作,將帶你探索無限的自己!
 
機械與魔法構築的舞台優美得如同古老寓言,又嶄新得令人驚奇不已。妖精睿智的箴言告訴你,必須有夠強壯的心靈才能戴上面具,阻止災難降臨。面具背後承載的不是虛假或膽怯,而是最真實強大的自我!


In the National Book Award–winning Goblin Secrets, a boy joins a theatrical troupe of goblins to find his missing brother. In the town of Zombay, there is a witch named Graba who has clockwork chicken legs and moves her house around—much like the fairy tale figure of Baba Yaga. Graba takes in stray children, and Rownie is the youngest boy in her household. Rownie’s only real relative is his older brother Rowan, who is an actor. But acting is outlawed in Zombay, and Rowan has disappeared.
 
Desperate to find him, Rownie joins up with a troupe of goblins who skirt the law to put on plays. But their plays are not only for entertainment, and the masks they use are for more than make-believe. The goblins also want to find Rowan—because Rowan might be the only person who can save the town from being flooded by a mighty river.
 
This accessible, atmospheric fantasy takes a gentle look at love, loss, and family while delivering a fast-paced adventure that is sure to satisfy.
