This book contains a unique science fiction theme that is extremely rare in young adult novels, dealing with the story of a boy who is the only one who feels emotions in a utopian society where emotions and memories are strictly controlled in order for everyone to live an equally happy life. It is a novel that stands out with its captivating power and solid structure that will keep the reader glued to the book until the very end.

This book, which has sold over 5.3 million copies worldwide, has been gaining popularity as a good read in the original language since 10 years ago when readers of the original language were extremely rare in Korea. Now, it has become a must-read for anyone who starts reading the original language, and it is also the most frequently recommended book in international middle schools and specialized high schools.

What is the Newbery Award? And what is the Newbery Collection?
The Newbery Award is a children's literature award presented annually by the American Library Association to the author who has made the greatest contribution to the development of American children's literature.
This award, which began in 1922, boasts the highest authority and history, so much so that it is called the “Nobel Prize of Children’s Books.”
The judging criteria are as strict as the history and authority of the award, and the judging panel carefully evaluates the book's thematic awareness, depth of information, sophistication of the story, and appropriateness of characters and writing style to determine the winner.
Newbery Medal winners are greatly loved by English learners in Korea as 'verified original books.'
The Newbery Medal winners use vocabulary that is not difficult, yet the depth of the sentences is significant enough to warrant a literary award. Their profound sentences make them excellent textbooks for English study, making them enjoyable for all English learners, from elementary school students to adults, and from beginners to experts.
For this reason, Newbery Medal winners are widely used in various ways, such as as mothers' English textbooks in Gangnam, as required reading for entrance exams in international middle and specialized high schools, and as English textbooks in universities.
Additionally, most award-winning works have a strange phenomenon in which the sales of the original books are much higher than those of the Korean translations.
The "Newbery Collection," published by Longtail Books, is a series of English original texts that have been carefully selected from among Newbery Medal-winning works and famous works by Newbery Medal-winning authors, and reborn as customized language textbooks suitable for English language learning in Korea.
