Features: In a small fishing village in southern Taiwan, a group of children discover a magical scroll with curses in a mountain cave. A boy named Sudan is unfortunately transformed into a sheep under the curse. This extraordinary sheep travels across the sea to Japan and becomes a "miracle" in the Suzuki circus. Through trials of life and death, with the enthusiastic help of his friend Yezi, Sudan overcomes his obstacles and reverts back to human form. The story is bizarre and full of twists, depicting Sudan's inner journey as a sheep—fear, sadness, hope, and belief—accompanying his growth. The book has a unique concept, especially the rich psychological portrayal of the characters. The details are vivid, creating a sense of imagery and impact. The language is also relatively simple, making it suitable for middle school students' reading preferences.
