Mine Soysal

Young lives crossing paths with books...

Mine Soysal, whose masterpiece Oh No, Books! was read with great interest not only by young people but also by educators and parents, now invites readers of all ages to say “Hooray for Books!” 32 new short stories narrate in striking detail the psychological and social conditions that directly affect the reading habits of today’s youth. Years after the first book that left a unique mark on our reading culture, it offers a different journey that will renew everyone’s perspective on the concepts of “books” and “reading”. It encourages young people to think about the place and importance of books in their lives with an innovative approach.
