Zeynep Cemali, one of the bestselling children’s books authors, is bringing together village life and city life; childhood and  senility in the heartwarming story of a deaf girl.

Overview

Şerare is deaf but lucky because she can live like a normal person  thanks to her education. She spends her summer holiday with relatives who live in a village close to Istanbul. The villagers call her “The Girl on Roller-skates” because she never takes off the roller-skates her father gave her as a gift. But she cannot help thinking of her vacation assignment all the time. Her assignment is to relate the childhood memories of the elderly in the village. At the end of the summer, Şerare not only finishes her assignment but also affects the lives of these people in many ways.
