Our country’s internationally renowned master of humor, our 2014 Astrid Lindgren Memorial Award (ALMA) nominee Behiç Ak, presents us with a humorous novel that captures the rhythm of the changing lives of children who have grown up with “Stories That Make You Smile,” and meets them in a new world of emotion and language. The novel tells the story of Ali, whose surname was mistakenly given the letter “Ç” in his population records, and how he transforms into a different person with a single letter, with an entertaining and thought-provoking plot. The author tells the story of today’s world, where social networking sites such as Facebook have differentiated our verbal and written communication styles; where consuming – consuming as fast as possible – has become the focal point of our daily lives, through the eyes of a child known as “Mr. Ç.” Enriched with colorful characters that every reader can find in their environment and the artist's caricature-like drawings, the novel invites the child reader, families and educators to think about the philosophy of life that changes form in virtual and real environments. When it is necessary for schoolwork, Ali cannot find his ID card even if he searches and scans; he applies for a new one. Thus, a surprising truth is revealed: Ali's surname is written incorrectly in the records as "Hosgoru¨ç" with a Ç added to the end. His father is angry, but Ali is very happy with the letter Ç. A single letter will make him a completely different person, and he is already known as "Mr. Ç" both on social media sites and at school. However, in a world where everything is consumed and thrown away, how will Ali Hosgoru¨ç resist?..
