Lulu Space: Save Planet Wagrishon!
About This Book
Award-winning author Young-so Yu, recipient of the Mahaesong Literary Award and the Jeong Chae-bong Literary Award, known for her warm portrayal of children's real-life struggles and relationship conflicts in *Bakha's Bun Cha*, now captures readers' hearts with a story set in a virtual reality game. *Lulu Space: Save Planet Wagrishon!* is a delightful tale of four children with different personalities and ideas who learn to work together and grow as a team.
In the game, each child takes on a different role as they battle monster caterpillars, zombie squids, and booger meteorites falling from the sky to save the doomed planet Wagrishon. At first, they bicker and argue when things don't go their way, but they come to realize the importance of bringing together their different ideas and abilities.
Through the story of disabled and non-disabled friends—and friends with completely different personalities and temperaments—cooperating and building relationships free of prejudice or stereotypes, this book naturally conveys the values of community, friendship, and the deep satisfaction that comes from working together. Readers will share in the joy of togetherness as they watch these four children learn to listen to one another and move forward side by side.
