Totto-Chan - Gadis Cilik di Jendela (The Little Girl at the Window) Review
By Liku Layuk Allo - September 29, 2017
Hello again world! Yassss finally I am back with a book review. God. It feels like ages. Life seems tough lately, so maybe you guys think I don't have time to read any book at all? Ha. Luckily, I finally picked this book from the nearest book store months ago, after seeing it around for sooo many years... Where have I been? I know. I always thought ‘oh I want to buy it, the book looks so cute..’, but I don’t know why I never actually bought it until recently.
So, without further do, let’s move on to the review.
Abstract
The full name of the book is 'Totto-Chan The Little Girl at the Window' (or in Bahasa, Totto-Chan Gadis Cilik di Jendela). The writer, Tetsuko Kuroyanagi, fondly called "Totto-chan" by her parents and childhood friends, is today a successful television personality in Japan. The book starts by telling of Totto-chan's expelling from her previous school, when she was only in grade one, because of her childhood naughtiness. Totto-chan, who was labeled as a troublemaker by her teacher, was forced to leave school. Her anxious but kindhearted mother then took her to Tomoe Gakuen, a school ran by headmaster Sosaku Kobayashi, who had utterly different views on schooling than the other educators of his time. It is just a matter of very short time until Totto-chan realize what a different and interesting school Tomoe Gakuen would be.
