Product Description

もしも君のお父さんが本好きで、本屋をやっていて、大事な書物を「ボクのかわいい本ちゃん」と呼んでかわいがるような人だったらどうする？ たぶん本なんて嫌いになるだろう。エリック・サンボイジンとマーティン・マティアによる一風変ったとても面白い物語『The Ink Drinker』に登場する主人公の男の子ように。 ある夏休みのこと、少年が「いっそ万引きでも来れば気がまぎれるのに」と思いながら本屋の店番をしていると、青白い不気味な何者かが、本を飲んでいた。なんとストローで。少年のはっと息を飲む音を聞いたインク･ドリンカーは、あわてて外へ逃げて行った。被害に遭った本からは、1字か2字を残して文字がすっかり消えていた。少年が本物の探偵さながらに店を飛び出して男を追うと、たどり着いたのは墓地。そこには、インクつぼの形をした墓石があり、ペンの形をした棺に先ほどの男（魔物か？）がいびきをかいて寝ていた。
ブック・バンパイアのなぞが、良質の小説のように解けていくにつれて、一体この主人公の少年が起きているのか、夢を見ているのか、このインク･ドリンカーの魔力にかかってしまったのか、読者はいよいよわからなくなっていく。「第2段落の冒頭部分を吸い込んだところで、突然明かりがつくと、そこにはパパがいた。言葉を飲み込み損ねて、のどが詰まってしまった…」
読書のパワーを描いたこのエキセントリックな物語に、少年少女たちは夢中になるに違いない。さまざまな読者に、多くの驚きと喜びを与えてくれる本となるだろう。（Karin Snelson, Amazon.com）
内容説明
WHAT IF YOUR Dad loved books, owned a bookstore, and even called his cherished volumes “my little bookies”? You would probably despise books—just like the young protagonist in this deliciously bizarre story.
One summer vacation, while Odilon is working in the store and hoping shoplifters will ease his burden, he spots a weird, pale stranger drinking a book. With a straw. As soon as the ink drinker flees (at the sound of the boy’s gasp), the young spy locates the customer’s book and discovers that it is completely blank except for a letter or two! He races out of the store on the heels of this tough customer—all the way to the cemetery. . . .
