In his third novel, the well liked educator and writer Ömer Açık is telling a philosophical story extending from school corridors to life itself. The novel challenges the often used alphabetical order and attracts interest with its narrative full of surprises. The writer invokes the forgotten power of words and raises the question of important concepts such as justice, freedom, solidarity using peaceful realistic characters. The last novel of Ömer Açık, whose children’s novels such as A Station Called Violet  and My Dad’s Hilarious where he relates  neighborhood stories full of hope, are greatly enjoyed and appeal to readers of all ages.

Overview

Now, everyone including the teachers are challenging rote implementations. Will the successive questions brought up open the way to new ideas?
