Grandmother – Grandson – Magic – Journey
This book, which belongs to a series of magical tales by Fatih Erdogan, tells the story of the Turkish boy Ozan who misses his grandmother. Since she lives in New Zealand, the two haven’t seen each other for a very long time. When the boy lets his finger travel across a globe, he suddenly experiences a strange sensation that feels as if he could actually fly. Soon afterwards, he wakes up in a forest on the other side of the world. He finds his grandmother and meets a girl with whom he chats about their different home countries. This imaginative book offers its readers many possibilities to identify with the protagonist and share his wishes and feelings. It easily lends itself to both reading aloud or on one’s own. (7+) <>
