Like a strong gust of wind sweeping through the train, the accordion-style pages relentlessly propel the narrative forward. Every detail hides a secret; this espionage and mystery pop-up book is not to be missed!
Lin Hsing-Chiu / Head, Tong Li Picture Book House
Our connection began seven years ago at an exhibition in Zhongzheng 15. This work left the deepest impression. I adore its English retro palette of browns and greens, transporting me back in time. The confined carriages, the characters' restrained expressions, the pull-out designs of the train cars, the pop-up and flap mechanisms – the reading experience felt like stepping directly into the screen, standing beside the actors to watch the play. The suspense builds, and the stories or cinematographic techniques within each small flap, the multi-angle narration—this book is not just for watching a play, but for immersing oneself in it. Seven years, and we've waited for something truly spectacular.
Huang Hsiao-Yin / Children's Book Translator and Critic
Mysterious plotlines combined with elegant art create unique pop-up scenes, making one yearn to step into the book and unravel the puzzles.
Yang Ching-Kuei / Pop-Up Book Collector, Kingdom of Pop-Up Books
Espionage and mystery replace playing house, breaking the mold of dollhouse pop-up books.
Lu Fang-Fang / Editor-in-Chief, After-Youth Picture Book Hall
Like an intricately designed celestial treasure box, opening the mechanisms reveals the fragility and courage of human nature. This immersive pop-up book puzzle is a search for answers, and also an unlocking of life.
