Itâs almost Daeboreum in 1980s South Korea, and granny drags Taehee, her boyfriend Kiwoo and her mask dance club to a remote farm to celebrate the holiday, in a lightly creepy yet humorous story about first love and friendship. Simultaneous and eBook. Illustrations. - Penguin Putnam
Acclaimed creators Kim Hyun Sook and Ryan Estrada are back with a lightly creepy yet hilarious young adult graphic novel about first love and friendshipâperfect for fans of Huda F Cares and Pumpkinheads.
It's almost Daeboreum in 1980s South Koreaâa holiday that celebrates the first full moon of the year. Taehee couldn't care less. All she wants is to spend time with her boyfriend Kiwoo, avoid her controlling father, and play music for her mask dance club. But Taehee's weird granny and her even weirder friends have other plans for Taehee: they drag her, Kiwoo, and the rest of the dance club to their remote farm to celebrate Daeboreum...the old-fashioned way.
As the group arrives at the farm, Taehee overhears her granny talking about ceremonies, ghosts, and possibly (probably) sacrificing her friends to evil spirits. And if that's not bad enough, Taehee just said those Three Little Words to Kiwoo that he can't seem to say back. Meanwhile, her friends are running wild with secretsâones they definitely don't want the grannies to overhear. It seems like everyone is up to no good.Â
The first full moon of the year is about to arrive, and with it confessions that threaten to change everything. That is, of course, if they all make it out alive.Â
Featuring beloved characters from Banned Book Club and No Rules Tonight, Good Old-Fashioned Korean Spirit is a standalone story that melds tradition with the unexpected, and the spooky with the sweet.
