Into the book
The moment I heard from Seohyun that Doyoon had confessed, I was breathless.
The words that had been lingering in my throat for a long time floated through the air before coming back into my ears.
There was a ringing in my ears.
“No, I was too surprised to say anything.
If he had said something like, 'I like you' or 'I want to date you', I wouldn't have been that surprised, but he suddenly said, 'Do you want to do it from today?'
“I’m not answering, so think about it and tell me.”
--- pp.16-17 From "From Today?"
But last week, Kang Hyo-eun moved to our neighborhood.
He transferred to our school and became our classmate.
Kang Hyo-eun, whom I hadn't seen in a long time, had changed beyond recognition.
The flat nose became sharper and the face became slimmer.
And he had grown taller than me, even though he was a hand shorter than me.
In a word, it became pretty.
“Hello! Nice to meet you.”
I told Kang Hyo-eun that I was happy to see her, but inside I didn't feel the same.
“Nice to meet you too.”
Kang Hyo-eun also said this, but her expression was not really happy.
There seemed to be something strange flowing between Kang Hyo-eun and me.
--- pp.60-61 From "Harvard Mathematics Academy"
“I have decided to break off relations with Si-eun.
“You guys, choose only one between Si-eun and me.”
While eating tteokbokki at a snack bar in front of the school, Gyeongju made this declaration.
Gyeongju paid for the tteokbokki.
“Hey, Gyeongju, you broke up with me? That doesn’t make sense.”
Haon said.
"thank you.
“I knew you would choose me, Haon.”
"huh?"
Haon was embarrassed.
“Haon chose me, and Hayeon, what about you? You too, right?”
I couldn't say no to Gyeongju.
Haon and I ended up being kids who chose Gyeongju out of fear.

Publisher's Review
□ It can happen to anyone, and we have all thought about it at least once.
Our stories about love, sex, and friendship
In "The Queen of Breakups," three concerns of children appear.
Among these, the most acute and complex conflict is probably the one regarding love.
The protagonist of the first story, "From Today to the First Day?", Ji-eun, faces a situation where "the child she has a crush on likes her best friend."
Why does the person I like, while not liking me back, show interest in my best friend? Will the author of this question, "Which should I choose between friendship and love?"—a perennial question not only for children but for all of humanity—be able to wisely find the answer?
The protagonist of the second story, "Harvard Math Academy," Juwon is a top student who is known as a "math genius," but he has recently developed a problem that no one knows about.
As studying math becomes more and more difficult, tests become more and more burdensome.
While he was thinking that he was not a genius but an idiot, Hyo-won, the daughter of his mother's friend, transferred to his school and took away his top spot in math.
Joo-won, who has faced the biggest crisis of his life, how will he overcome this difficulty?
The final "Queen of Breakups" depicts the story of four friends' twisted friendships.
Ha-yeon, who was close to the most popular race in the class, receives a difficult request from Gyeong-ju one day.
Another friend, Si-eun, is to be cut off! He says that if he doesn't cut off Si-eun, he will understand that it means he will cut off all ties with him.
If Si-eun is chosen, Gyeong-ju might ditch Ha-yeon in the class.
What choice will Ha-yeon make?
□ A meeting of children's real stories and fantastic illustrations that perfectly suit their tastes!
Born as the essence of everyday fairy tales by author Park Hyun-sook!
Readers who have encountered author Park Hyun-sook primarily through planned series such as the "Suspicious" series and the "Good Dragon" series can finally encounter the essence of Park Hyun-sook's everyday fairy tales in a single volume with "Queen of Breakups" after a long time.
Author Park Hyun-sook, who observes the lives of children from a closer distance than anyone else, draws three stories that capture their real concerns at the eye level of young readers, quietly comforting them by saying that these concerns are not unique to them but something that anyone can experience.
However, this does not mean that the problem is treated as something light or easily resolved.
In the end, the author tells children through this work that what is important is finding your own solution to your worries.
The illustrations by illustrator Mocha, which perfectly suits the tastes of today's young readers, further enhance the appeal of the story.
Author Mocha, who is loved by young readers for her unique, fantastical atmosphere, has successfully expressed the character of the three stories dealing with love, sexuality, and friendship, respectively, through drawings that give a realistic yet dreamy feeling different from her previous work, “Queen of Breakups.”
"The Queen of Breakups" is a work that depicts the reality of children, and it could easily feel like an ordinary and boring daily life, but author Mocha has portrayed it in a splendid and fantastical way with unique characters and vivid colors.
Children can become even more immersed in the story as they encounter realistic content about their daily lives through the charming style of the artist Mocha.
Author Park Hyun-sook has long stimulated the imagination and curiosity of young readers with stories of mysterious beings, such as thousand-year-old snakes, nine-tailed foxes, and mysterious ghosts.
All of those stories were for children, and at the end of those stories there was a child.
Thus, his fairy tale of daily life, "The Queen of Breakups," which returns to its origin, "a story of real children," is a story for children starting anew from the beginning by an author who has already made a mark in children's literature, and is the true voice of children today.
