Bearing witness to a specific period of Turkey through the school life, the book makes the readers to think about being prepared for the unexpected surprises of life.

Overview

When he started prep class, the Erzurum Anatolian Lycee dormitory became his room and the refectory of the school replaced the warm kitchen of his house. He had passed the challenging exam but he had no idea that he would have to spend the nights and even some week-ends so far from his family on the bunk bed of a cold dormitory. He was totally unprepared for this. However, will the warmth of new friendships and the maturity brought by education be enough for an unready student in preparatory class?..
