Pr�sentation de l'�diteur :

So annoying. In Young-hee s life everything feels wrong. It seemed like only yesterday that her world was just as it should be. But now her dad is gone, her mum is overextended, she s forced to move back to Seoul and not a nice part of Seoul, either. Her old friends seem to have forgotten her. The girls at her new school are nasty. There s nothing interesting to do. And her little brother Bum is an insufferable, attention-hogging pain. When Younghee stumbles into a magical world, where the fairy stories of her childhood become real, all the frustrations of her everyday life fade away and nothing is boring. But when Bum is kidnapped in that magical world, and the only way Young-hee can save him is to go on a twist-and-turn-filled quest in search of the magical pullocho plant, she finds herself facing decisions that affect not only her little brother, but the fate of an entire world. In Young-hee and the Pullocho Korean pop-culture expert Mark James Russell (K-Pop Now, Tuttle Publishing 2014) brings Korean folktales and classic quest fantasies together in a story of a young girl who, without realising it, is in search of herself. Her journey takes her from the dingiest part of Seoul to enchanted forests, caves and palaces. Among the beings she meets on her path are some who are wise and kind beyond measure, and some who are more evil and devious than she could ever have imagined and telling the difference is often the hardest thing of all, for things aren t always as they seem.
