The Rainfall Market by You Yeong-Gwang

Serin, a useless human, received a golden ticket into the mysterious Rainfall Market, where she could get a Dokkaebi Orb, which would grant her the extraordinary–or ordinary–life she desired. “A lingering sense of warmth.” An antidote to 2025.

Serin lives in the poorest section of town with her mother, who embarrassingly darns her socks. “After classes, the other students went off to expensive crammers. Serin was the only one who headed home. Serin sighed as she looked up at the endless steps that led up the hillside. She hated these steps almost as much as she hated sitting bored in school.” She was the ideal candidate for a Ticket to the Rainfall Market, where she could completely change her life.

“The Strange Rumor. Somewhere far outside the big city was a place called Rainbow Town. And somewhere in Rainbow Town was a run-down, abandoned house. Rumor had it that if you sent a letter about your misfortune to this house, you would receive a mysterious Ticket. If you brought that Ticket to the house on the first day of the rainy season, you could completely change your life.”

 

“Serin: A girl who wants to escape her dreary life. Invited to a mysterious market that only opens during the rainy season, Serin is caught up in a whirlwind of adventures. She wanders the Rainfall Market in search of happiness. Issha: A guide cat who follows the holder of the Golden Ticket. A spirit creature who looks like a cat but acts like a puppy, Issha changes size at will and guides Serin to the Dokkaebi stores that keep the futures she wants.”

It is not as simple as all of that. Read this delightful book to enjoy Serin’s adventures and join her as she learns about herself and true happiness.

The author’s objective was: “Something that left readers with a lingering sense of warmth even after they turned the last page. A light, fun read that was still packed with meaning. A book that could heal wounded hearts and cast a ray of hope into the darkness.” See if you think he accomplished his goal.
