What If We Each Other

"If 19th-century readers had 『The Prince and the Pauper』, 21st-century readers have 『What If We Each Other』." Two children, born with magically identical faces and raised without knowing of each other's existence, meet by fate in the year they turn thirteen. Startled by their striking resemblance in the moonlight, the children become entangled in an unexpected incident through a moment's prank.... 『What If We Each Other』 tells the story of two weeks that unfold when thirteen-year-old Nam Woori and Yoon Seoro switch places. Built upon the familiar premise of two children with identical appearances but completely different lives switching places, the story adds fresh entertainment by incorporating the real worries, desires, and growth of today's children. Children's and young adult literature critic Kim Ji-eun praised both the enjoyment of following the constantly evolving story built upon the familiar setting of the classic 『The Prince and the Pauper』 and the growth story of the two protagonists encountered at the end, leaving the recommendation: "This is what reading pleasure is all about." Author Wi Hae-jun, who received love from readers and critics with the previous work 『The Child Everyone Wants』 through the subject of a 'perfect' child who meets society's standards, now presents questions and concerns about the reality that categorizes others' lives as either 'princess' or 'pauper' through compelling protagonists and narrative with great pace. When readers emerge from the "reading pleasure" of 『What If We Each Other』 and lift their heads, it will make them excitedly envision what they truly wish to become. ★Elementary Curriculum Connections★ 4th Grade 1st Semester Korean 1.
