b, Book, and Me, Kim Sagwa’s fourth novel, gives a scathing look at South Korean society through the eyes of two middle school girls, b and Rang Hong. Although they are young adolescents, they both struggle with anger, fear and loneliness as they grapple with problems that are out of their control in a country that is indifferent to their suffering.
