Book Summary
This work is a “thinking course for adolescents” presented in the form of a novel.
It depicts the “journey of self-discovery” undertaken by an adolescent and shows the process of constructing and deconstructing one’s world as he or she grows, using the theme of “indigo children.”
The concept of the “indigo child” is a concept that exists in reality. It is sufficiently well known to be used as a synonym for a creative child.
However, few people know the true meaning of this expression in detail. Likewise, it is rare for an indigo child to be used as the main character of a novel. This book places an “indigo child” at the center of its story.
The story crosses the boundary between reality and fiction after revealing that indigo children are “children from the stars.”
The fundamental philosophical and ontological question — “Who am I?” — is the starting point of the book. Readers unconsciously take part in a “journey of self-discovery,” and by turning the final page, they will have the opportunity to confront their true “self.”
