{"product_id":"모래-언덕에서의-특별한-모험","title":"A Special Adventure on the Sand Dunes","description":"The master of French children's literature, Max Ducos, returns after two years with a brilliant new work! Known for blending art and play to create magical worlds, Max Ducos rose to prominence as a giant of French children's literature by winning the Incorruptibles Prize, France's prestigious children's and young adult literature award. The Incorruptibles Prize is chosen by 150,000 children who read and discuss the nominated books themselves, and the winning work is recognized as the finest children's and young adult literature of that year. All three of Max Ducos's works published in Korea were nominated for the Incorruptibles Prize, a testament to the excellence of his writing. Furthermore, two of his works — The Secret House of Volubilis and The Secret Garden — went on to win the award, firmly establishing him as a master of French children's literature. Now, after two years, he returns with a brand-new work. A Special Adventure on the Sand Dunes is a story that once again showcases the full power of Max Ducos's storytelling.\n\nCuriosity and Adventure Change a Boy's Life!\nA boy takes shelter for the night in an unfamiliar forest to escape a storm. The next morning, a dog wakes him up. The dog keeps barking, as if it's trying to say something. Out of curiosity, the boy follows the dog, and so begins a special adventure that will change his life. The story unfolds against the backdrop of the Dune du Pilat, the tallest sand dune in Europe, located in France. Passing through a pine forest and climbing the massive dune, a blue sea stretches out ahead while a green forest spreads out behind — as if two seas are rolling in from both directions. Looking down from the dune, the sandbar below creates the illusion of having arrived somewhere impossibly far away. Max Ducos captures the surrounding landscape of the Dune du Pilat with remarkable accuracy, adding a vivid sense of realism. Even readers unfamiliar with the location or scenery of the Dune du Pilat will find themselves fully immersed in the story, enjoying the adventure right alongside the young hero.\n\nThe boy's adventure doesn't end with simply admiring the grandeur of the sand dunes. Following the dog, he encounters German children who don't speak his language, a young couple, a beach littered with trash, and an elderly fisherman. What in the world is the dog trying to show him? The question that keeps circling in his mind is finally answered when he discovers a dolphin — stranded and in need of rescue! While most people might easily walk past such a scene, the boy's curiosity and persistence in following the dog lead him to become the hero who saves the dolphin. Heroes aren't born ready-made — any child can become one, just as this boy did when he embarked on the special adventure that would change his life.\n\nDiscovering the Meaning of Coming Together\nIs saving the dolphin the only thing that changes the boy's life? Through the process of rescuing the dolphin, the boy gains a whole new kind of experience. By joining forces with people he would have simply passed by before — people he never imagined he'd have anything to say to — he comes to understand the true meaning of solidarity. Working alongside people of different languages, ages, and backgrounds, the boy feels a deep sense of accomplishment and joy. Through the trash-strewn beach and the stranded dolphin, we're reminded of the importance of protecting the environment and life itself. Max Ducos offers coming together as the answer to saving both. The boy alone couldn't even budge the dolphin's massive body, but by gathering the help and wisdom of those around him, he was able to save the enormous creature from its crisis. Even tasks that seem impossible to do alone can be accomplished if we find the courage to start and then share the effort with others. Children who come to understand the meaning of working together will discover a whole new kind of joy.","brand":"IBOOKPARK","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49624136974564,"sku":"10142022999","price":23.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0831\/9788\/6692\/files\/9788911124008.jpg?v=1786424333","url":"https:\/\/ibookpark.com\/en\/products\/%eb%aa%a8%eb%9e%98-%ec%96%b8%eb%8d%95%ec%97%90%ec%84%9c%ec%9d%98-%ed%8a%b9%eb%b3%84%ed%95%9c-%eb%aa%a8%ed%97%98","provider":"IBOOKPARK","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
