Description 작품 소개
On their way back home from a vacation, three siblings Jane, Jaewook, and Jaehoon suddenly find themselves with supernatural powers after eating noodles with fluorescent clams. As they get frustrated because their powers are too insignificant to be called “supernatural,” each of them receives a message and a parcel telling them to save someone. They start to worry: Jane from Daejeon, where she works as a researcher; Jaewook from a plant construction site in Arabian Desert; and Jaehoon from a goat farm in Georgia, where he studies as an exchange student. Who should they save and how?
In the novel, the author talks about the kindness and warm-heartedness that is getting scarce in today’s society. In a world full of violence and hatred, what can a handful of kind people do for another? From this question, the story of Jane, Jaewook, Jaehoon began.
Through adventures of the three siblings who one day unexpectedly acquires minor superpowers, the author suggests how saving someone is a valuable and important experience for all of us. The fact that at a time of emergency, the one who holds out a helping hand is not some superhero but an ordinary person just like us, shows the author’s deep trust in humankind. Furthermore, what makes the story more heartwarming is that at the end, the one who gets saved is not the one in danger, but the one who sets out to save another.
A story about a meaningless coincidence, insignificant supernatural powers, a small, plain kindness and warm hearts that we come across often.
