Description

A whole class. Five pebbles. Two professionals, and a girl who refuses to learn the game. Who will win the gonggi tournament?

Eunji didn't know when she borrowed her sister's dress that there would be gongghidols hidden in the pockets, but Jingu--the annoying kid that doesn't stop calling her partner--sees them. Instantly, he starts to play. All the kids marvel at his skills, and they start playing too. Soon, the whole class is hooked and decide to have a gonggi tournament. Eunji has never played gonggi, and watching her classmates obsess over the game makes her hate it even more. But some unlikely encouragement from Jingu may just change her mind about this game yet.

Will the skills she builds be enough to win the tournament? Find out in this fun, vibrant, and page-turning book, Let's Play Gonggi.
