Overview

This book tells its readers to speak their minds and live their own lives where they are the ones who rule the stage.

Book Intro

Class Vice President by Mistake looks into adults who always tell kids to behave and be quiet and children who try not to do what they are told. We meet Yu-ri, who is not good at studying but always confident; Shi-ha, who is the cousin of Yu-ri and a good student; Uh-Sung, who is good-looking and popular in school but keeps asking Yu-ri to play with a doll every time he sees her; Ah-Bin, a nosy kid who always puts rhymes into every word; and Yang-Hye, who is cynical and deep in her own thoughts. While electing class representatives, the kids in this story go back and forth and think a lot about it. But in the end, they live their own lives acting and talking as they want to. Yu-Ri, who says “I will write all of your names and give the list to our teacher,” tells us at the end of the story, “I will never be a class vice president. Because making a list of the names of my friends who talk in class is not something I want to do.” Yu-Ri’s confident behavior of admitting what she has done wrong will charm readers.

The only character in Class Vice President by Mistake who speaks from the beginning is Yu-Ri. As the story comes to an end, some of Yu-ri’s friends begin to talk, and in the end, everyone in the class ends up chatting. However, is children chatting with each other endlessly not their true and most ideal form? The author's comment “Someone who always tells kids to be quiet must be an adult who an never be a kid ever again. Children who can talk freely will become adults with their own voices," will resonate with readers.
