內容簡介:Eoin Colfer has made millions of fans around the world with his much-loved character, Artemis Fowl, the star of his hugely best-selling series. Now, in a beautifully written novel that is already breaking records in his native Ireland, Colfer introduces readers to a lovable but troubled heroine, who has been given the opportunity for a special kind of redemption. Meg Finn is in trouble-unearthly trouble. Cast out of her home by her stepfather after her mother's death, Meg is a wanderer, a troublemaker. But after her latest stunt, finding a place to sleep is the least of her worries. Belch, her partner in crime, has gotten her involved in the attempted robbery of an elderly man, Lowrie McCall. And things go horribly wrong. After an accidental explosion, Meg's spirit is flung into limbo, and a race begins between the demonic and the divine to win her soul. Irreverent, hilarious, and touchingly hopeful, The Wish List takes readers on a journey of second chances, where joy is found in the most unexpected places.
作者簡介:Eoin Colfer (pronounced Owen) was born in Wexford on the South-East coast of Ireland in 1965, where he and his four brothers were brought up by his father (an elementary school teacher, historian and artist of note) and mother (a drama teacher). He first developed an interest in writing in primary (elementary) school with gripping Viking stories inspired by history he was learning in school at the time!
After leaving school he got his degree from Dublin university and qualified as a primary school teacher, returning to work in Wexford. He married in 1991 and he and his wife spent about 4 years between 1992 and 1996 working in Saudi Arabia, Tunisia and Italy. His first book, Benny and Omar, was published in 1998, based on his experiences in Tunisia; it has since been translated into many languages. A sequel followed in 1999, followed by some other books (see below). Then in 2001 the first Artemis Fowl book was published and he was able to resign from teaching and concentrate fully on writing.

1986年歐因·科弗成為一名小學教師，業(yè)余時間堅持寫作。1991年婚后的數(shù)年間，曾旅居意大利、突尼西亞和沙特阿拉伯等地，這段經(jīng)歷對他后來的文學創(chuàng)作產(chǎn)生了很大影響。
艾歐因·寇弗的兒童文學創(chuàng)作之路可謂一帆風順，處女作《班尼和歐瑪》一經(jīng)出版即躍上暢銷書榜。2001年夏天，他完成了后來風靡全球青少年的《阿特米斯奇幻歷險》第一部。這部作品的巨大成功令他決心放棄教職專心寫作。
《阿特米斯奇幻歷險》系列是歐美暢銷書榜的?？停@得很多獎項，已在43個國家和地區(qū)出版，全球銷量1300余萬冊。36歲的愛爾蘭中學老師歐因·科弗因此收到了英國歷史上最高的兒童文學作品稿酬——70萬英鎊。他的《阿特米斯奇幻歷險》系列如今在歐洲暢銷榜的排名已超出《哈利·波特》系列，興高采烈的Miramax出版公司隨后又支付了25萬英鎊。前三冊的電影版權已由迪斯尼購買。
J.K.羅琳和歐因·科弗被英國媒體津津樂道地做比較，都是教師、短時間內迅速成名、出版系列都非常暢銷、內容和魔法有關、主角都是12歲左右的男孩。對此科弗不耐煩地說：“我喜歡羅琳，但我們的風格也有差異，蘋果和橘子有什么好比的？”
