NEW EDITION OF THE BESTESELLING WINNER OF THE ANDERSEN AWARD ABOUT INNER-CITY KIDS This cult novel has sold close to a million copies since its original publication in 1978. The story is about an elementary school in Kobe where many of the students are poor children who live by a garbage disposal plant. While many of the teachers, including the principal, have given up on these ill-kempt children, there is a handful of teachers who have resolved to understand them better and succeed in teaching them thoroughly.
Reviews
"Haitani has fully grasped the secret to ushering a wide readership that surpasses children to include adults. He suffuses his work with astuteness and accessible minutiae, still managing to convey a clear moral message." - Nobel Prize winner Kenzaburo Oe
