In A Circle Virus, children fall in love for the first time and have trouble falling asleep. We meet Gwanwoo, Doeun and Gyuri. Doeun and Gwanwoo have been friends since kindergarten. Although Gwanwoo is a mischievous boy, he is always there to help Doeun. He can be rather clumsy though. Doeun begins to see Gwanwoo in a new light. But it turns out, her best friend Gyuri has a crush on Gwanwoo.
Kids nowadays grow up fast both physically and emotionally. Sometimes, first graders at elementary school surprise us by openly expressing their feelings. Parents have much more to deal with these days when it comes to their children. They are lost as to how to educate their children and to what extent. Many people still think that children are just playing fun pranks when they show interest in one another. But children are just as sincere as grownups. Instead of worrying about what children say or do on the surface, we must try to understand how they feel inside.
A Circle Virus is a story about fresh love among fifth graders. This book will offer sympathy and consolation to lovesick children and a message as warm as a spring day to those yet to fall in love.
