This volume collects seven stories that turn ordinary daily life into a mystery through marvelous incidents where the sports field at school suddenly turns into a giant one day, household objects transform into animals each night, and the family dog changes into a human being. Solid is the author’s capacity for portraying serious themes in a refreshingly novel and unprecedented manner. After reading these tales, readers will look at familiar sights from a new perspective. 『The Backbone of the Sports Field』: For fun, Eun-ju and her friend dig up the sports field and look for “treasures.” One day, however, the sports field starts to tremble as if there were an earthquake. 『A Kit for Growing Dong-sik』: Dong-sik is a genetically modified companion animal. However, due to insufficient money for feed, the beast is fed unsafe foods. Afterwards, it begins to grow in odd ways. 『Today’s Good Fortune』: While looking for an out-of-the-way restaurant, Min-ji’s family loses the way, only to arrive at strange ruins and to have an extraordinary experience. Will the family be able to reach the restaurant as planned? 『Something Even Better than Lulu』: Entrusted by his mother with money for the family dog’s medical treatment, Hyeon-u ends up spending the hospital fee on a toy robot and even loses the canine. Belatedly realizing his mistake, the boy goes on a search for the dog. 『Good Job, Elephant! 』: When Su-min’s family is asleep at night, animals living in the household appliances jump out. Why have these creatures come out? 『The Fist King』: Gi-cheol takes pains to invite his friends to a party that will be held at his church. This is because the person to invite the most friends will receive an iPad as a prize. Will the boy succeed in his mission? 『What Happened on the Last Night of ‘Honesty Camp』: One by one, animals participating in “Honesty Camp” each reveal secrets. What kinds of secrets would these beasts have been hiding?
