What's wrong with this story?

After being kidnapped, Kimizuka, Natsunagi, Saikawa, and Charlie have learned the truth about Siesta's death... or have they? A girl who looks just like the deceased appears and informs them that the footage they've been investigating contains an error. As they hunt for an answer to a mystery that even Siesta couldn't uncover, the group will learn what it truly means to inherit the legacy of an ace detective. Though the detective may already be dead and the truth of her passing revealed, it's still early for the epilogue...

Who were you to her? Who was she to you?

While out and about one day, Kimihiko Kimizuka and his three friends are kidnapped by...Siesta herself?! But they soon learn there's more to the story as the long-forgotten truth of the detective's death is revealed. Will this be the clue that finally unlocks the secrets of Kimihiko's part?

When the story begins without its hero

Kimihiko Kimizuka has always been a magnet for trouble and intrigue. For as long as he can remember, he's been stumbling across murder scenes or receiving mysterious attaché cases to transport. When he met Siesta, a brilliant detective fighting a secret war against an organization of pseudohumans, he couldn't resist the call to become her assistant and join her on an epic journey across the world.

...Until a year ago, that is. Now he's returned to a life that is normal and tepid by comparison, knowing the adventure must be over. After all, the detective is already dead.

高冷忠犬全能藝人 X 樂天爛漫唱跳新星

他把愛用演技偽裝，
藏在溫柔的凝視中，藏在精心策畫的巧合裡。

★首刷加贈：唯美劇照明信片一組三張

「我喜歡你。」
「你們當演員的，真的都很會。」

樂觀天真的唱跳歌手白行，高冷寡言的全方位藝人黑衍，
因一次次的交集、一場場的交鋒，成了媒體筆下的宿敵。
不僅粉絲互看不順眼，連經紀人都勢不兩立。

在一場品牌大使的試鏡會上，黑衍跟白行針鋒相對，
然而，充滿化學效應的表現，讓品牌方決定進軍BL市場，
同時採用兩人，並安排拍攝微電影。
粉絲口中的「命中死敵」，逐漸演變成「天賜良緣」。

隨著緊湊繁忙的行程，日日相處的兩人，互動更顯自然、甜蜜，
他們交換祕密，漸漸了解彼此，過往的刻板印象也隨之打破──
白行看到黑衍冷漠外表下的溫柔；
而黑衍對白行的用心，是一場布局多年的安排……

「我想交你這個朋友。」
「如果我不想只做朋友呢？」

With much of old Singapore still covered in jungle, encounters with animals were not uncommon for those who lived here. Tiger Tales brings to life some of these little-known episodes, from a crazy rain of fish and the discovery of a giant croc in the Rochor River, to a conundrum with tapirs and the delights of a zoo in our very own Botanic Gardens.

Of course, no compendium of Singapore’s animal stories can go without the legend of Sang Nila Utama—did he really see a lion, we wonder? —and the dramatic story of the tiger under the billiard room. Along the way, readers also meet a cast of colourful yet real people from the past—including Colonel William Farquhar, the First Resident of Singapore, the famous Ming Dynasty admiral Zheng He, and Charles Phillips, the former principal of the Raffles Institution who marches into these pages in his pyjamas.

Did you know that many resistance fighters in the Malayan jungles were just teenagers? That one of the first large-scale coded messages created in Changi prison was inspired by girl guides? And that many university students from Malaya and Singapore returned during the war as commando-spies?

We Shall Remember: The Story of Singapore at War is the fascinating story of World War II and the Japanese Occupation in Singapore.

In addition to the more familiar events, this book also uncovers little-known but no less exciting stories of Singapore’s war experience, such as the secret school in Sime Road Prison, the courageous quilters in Changi Goal, the multi-racial volunteers of the Burma-Yunnan Road, the grandmother who became a fighter, and many more. Hear from teenage resistance fighters, fearless commando-spies, the unbreakable war heroine, soldiers who chose death over dishonour, and many other unsung heroes. The people who march through its pages with their stories of courage and sacrifice are multi-racial and multi-national, which show the war as it truly played out in Singapore. What happened on the Malay Peninsula is also captured here to an extent as both lands were integrated under colonial rule at that time.

August 2025 – The Little Singapore Book has been a bestseller since its first release in 2015, and was the first children’s book that traced all 700 years of Singapore’s history. Since then, it has sold over 18,000 copies. Now, on its 10th anniversary, Pepper Dog Press has published the Chinese edition of this modern Singapore children’s classic! To be released early September 2025, 小小新加坡故事书 is presented in simplified Chinese script, and fully supported with hanyu pinyin, making it accessible to a wider audience. 

Just like the English original, 小小新加坡故事书 is a fun-filled romp through Singapore’s 
history, packed in four chapters. It starts with a simplified history of Singapore from the 14th century through nation building and to the present day, then on to a whirlwind tour of the historical districts of Singapore. Flitting from past to present, it reveals the fascinating origins of neighbourhoods such as Chinatown and Little India, and how they have changed. For instance, did you know that Serangoon was once cattle farmland? Or that there was actually a race course in Race Course Road? The final chapter touches on contemporary culture and life in Singapore, from the colourful language that we call ‘Singlish’ to local food. 

Activities, quizzes, and sidebars of fun facts are sprinkled within to pique children’s interest.
All content and illustrations have been rigorously researched and is sprinkled with engaging details that encourage exploration and conversation between young readers and grown-ups. First published with the support of the SG50 Grant, The Little Singapore Book is a firm favourite among children, and a choice pick among teachers and parents. In 2022, The LittleSingapore Book was named in the prestigious IFLA World Through Picture Books, an annotated list of recommended picture books compiled and endorsed by librarians from around the world. Criteria for making this list include being able to “stand the test of time” and demonstrating excellence in publishing. In 2024, illustrator Chloe Chang won the inaugural Illustrator of the Year in 2024 for her illustrations in The Little Singapore Book.

Now, the Chinese edition brings this rich content to Chinese readers in softcover version, and an expanded 96 pages, translated by Chen Shuang and edited by award winning translator Chua Sok Koon. This is also Pepper Dog Press’s first Chinese language publication.

For those unfamiliar with this modern Singapore children’s classic, The Little Singapore Book is a fun-filled romp through Singapore’s history, packed in four chapters. It starts with a simplified history of Singapore from the 14th century through nation building and to the present day, then on to a whirlwind tour of the historical districts of Singapore.

Flitting from past to present, it reveals the fascinating origins of neighbourhoods such as Chinatown and Little India, and how they have changed. For instance, did you know that Serangoon was once cattle farmland? Or that there was a real fort that once stood at Fort Road? This is followed by the final chapter on the way we live and what Singaporeans are all about, from the rich colourful language that we call ‘Singlish’ to our collective love for food. Sprinkled within are also activities for kids, from walking routes to games and quizzes, and sidebars of fun facts to pique children’s interest.

《我獅城，我街道》
　　本书收录新加坡三代、二十六位作家的原创作品，以诗歌与散文书写街道与地方的故事、记忆与生活。有书写大坡小坡的周维介、小印度学艺的黄子明、描绘黑街旧事的吴伟才、漫步耶礼峇路的潘正镭、回望死人街的何志良与林方伟、记录上班日常的蔡欣洵，以及虚构“登百灵坊”的杨薇薇等。
　　书中不仅是一场文学漫步，更是一份留给城市与读者的“记忆档案”。主编汪来昇于〈心之所向〉中回顾了编书缘起与传播历程——若繁体版是让狮城走向世界，简体版则是温柔地回归故土。

《我獅城，我街道２》
　　延续第一册的精神与热度，本书收录三十位作者的二十九篇散文，书写更宽广的时间与地理幅度，继续关注新加坡的地方故事与生活痕迹。
　　从中峇鲁一颗“铁球”的跨世记忆，到安德逊路、苏菲雅路与盛港的人文变迁；从新加坡河与安祥山的静谧步行，到加冷河畔的劳动与歌声；从“阿裕尼十楼”的半世纪风华，到勿洛北与高文的烟火气、武吉巴督的魔幻写实、裕廊西与实龙岗北的陶窑兴衰——每一篇都以文字留住生活的温度。

　　愿我们深深爱着的这片土地与日常，历久弥新，继续闪耀人文的光彩。

特别附赠：英译版选集 —— Streets & Places of Singapore 1 & 2: Works originally written in English
　　此小册精选两册中原以英文创作的作品，完整收录英文本，展现文学跨语言的对话与文化交流之美。

This booklet brings together the original English works from Streets & Places of Singapore Volumes 1 and 2. The two anthologies were envisioned as a way of mapping Singapore through literature—capturing how streets and places carry history, memory, and imagination. Published in Chinese, they highlight the city as seen through the lens of Chinese literary expression, while also embracing works that were first written in English and lovingly translated into Chinese.

　　我最喜歡她給自己的稱呼──「世界廚房探險家」。這不僅是浪漫的形容，而是她真實的生活方式。她並不是走馬看花的旅人，而是用「廚房」這個最貼近日常的場域，進入一個社會的內裡。她與家庭共食，與當地人一同備料、下廚，透過餐桌上的料理，看見了宗教、政治、教育、氣候與傳統如何在日常中交織成一個國家的肌理。

　　這家老字號的咖啡館，總會莫名其妙吸引來一些神祕事件，以及一群特別有個性的人物。
　　這裡賣的不只是餐點，它賣的是安心與悠閒：貼近車站的老商圈、窗邊的動物園海報、看得見的開放式廚房，以及會把你當自家人的阿公阿嬤。

　　巴翁咖啡館經營了大約五十年。

　　阿公膝蓋不好，走路時左腳總是一跛一跛的。店裡到處都是高低落差，但阿公畢竟經營五十年了，閉著眼睛也不會被絆倒。他端著托盤的手總是微微顫抖，驚險地為客人送上「阿公的特製奶昔」，以及無論肚子再飽都想吃的「阿嬤的魔法拿坡里義大利麵」，這兩項餐點是本店的招牌料理。

　　我是這家店長的孫子。小五、國一、大一——在人生這三個時間點，我都在這間咖啡館遇見了奇妙事件，發現了意想不到的真相……

　　像鬧著玩，卻把人看得通透；像日常，卻藏著人生的答案。這是一本讀來暖胃又暖心的小說：有笑點、有餘韻，讓人合上書還想再去巴翁咖啡館，再點一盤熱騰騰的拿坡里義大利麵。
