Book Information & Summary
Written by Cho Gyu Mee
We meet numerous faces while living, however, are we really accepting those faces as they are? Are we sure we do not judge others based on the rumors sometimes? This book leads readers to children who are disliked and stigmatized without reasons, and gets rid of all the prejudice. In the episode of ‘A Lucky Star’, readers may be close to the child, who is recognized as an unlucky icon among classmates because something bad happen if the child makes friends. In the episode of ‘A Soccer Ball and a Cheering Pole’, readers get to do music project with the strange child who only listens to songs composed by the dead singers. In the episode of ‘Teacher, I’ve Got Something to Tell You’, readers will investigate the scene to find out the truth after witnessing a child, who looks violent and threatening, bullying other children.
In each episode, the main characters discover unexpected aspects from the person of interest as they get closer to each other. Like the relationship between unluck and luck, the one between an assailant and a victim, and the relationship between coercion and comfort, these episodes deeply touch the hidden aspects of controversial relationships. Through this novel, the author has expressed that the situation of all the people could turn over any time ironically. Also, the author has twisted the reality that awkward words spread like tree branches. By doing so, children who had to be oppressed by others could feel free. Everyday, they had the same faces but suddenly, they became the people with only one personality. There are still teenagers who experience the same situations in our daily life. To children readers, who will have to meet diverse relationships in future, the author desperately sends the message that we should all listen to the voices of those teenagers and they should move a step forward toward unfair prejudice through this book.
