故事简介

九岁的子钧自幼丧父，与妈妈相依为命。他的个性内向害羞，十分依赖妈妈。“你已经九岁了，怎么还那么胆小怕人？”妈妈常常鼓励子钧要勇敢一点。后来，妈妈一个搬家的决定，让子钧的生活有了很大的变化，自此子钧开始了一段战战兢兢、忐忑不安的日子。

他和妈妈的新家，就在学校街的一间汉堡包店楼上。能住在学校街最受欢迎的汉堡包店楼上，对喜欢吃汉堡包的子钧来说，固然值得开心，可是，学校街肮脏老旧的环境、新家有会发出诡异声响的楼梯、凶巴巴的房东玛丽阿姨、爱欺负人的同屋，还有房间窗外诡异的百年老树，都让子钧时刻生活在恐惧之中，苦不堪言。

幸好，房东玛丽阿姨的女儿小荞热情活泼，让子钧住在汉堡包店楼上的日子好过一些。每当子钧有难，她都会跳出来保护他。子钧很感激小荞，同时也十分羡慕小荞的勇敢，很希望自己有一天也能像小荞一样，不再怕这怕那的。但是，胆小鬼真的能变英雄吗？

Nine-year old Zi Jun lost his father when he was young and led a lonely life with his mother. He was extremely shy and very dependent on his mother. "You are already nine, why are you so timid?" His mother was always encouraging him to be more courageous. Then, his mother's decision to move to a new place brought about an enormous change to his life. Since then, Zi Jun began to lead a restless and anxious life.

His new home was situated above a hamburger shop on the street leading to his school. Zi Jun, who loved to eat hamburgers, was happy to live above the most popular hamburger shop on the street. But then, the dirty and old surroundings of the street, the squeaky stairway, the fierce landlady- Auntie Mary, the bullying housemates and the old eerie tree outside his bedroom window; all made Zi Jun's life very miserable and he was always in fear.

Luckily, the landlady's daughter, Xiao Qiao, was warm and cheerful which made his life staying above the hamburger shop more bearable. Every time Zi Jun has a problem, she would come out and protect him. Zi Jun was very grateful to Xiao Qiao and at the same time admired her courage, hoping to be like her one day, not to be afraid of anything anymore. But, will the coward become a hero?
