children and

Turkey
Since 1996, we have been introducing unique examples of
contemporary literature for children and young adults, both from
Turkish and world literature, with the mission of paving the way
for the progress and development of children’s and young adult
literature in Turkey. In addition to publishing selected works of
master authors, we have been introducing many new authors to
the field and executing award winning publishing projects.
We publish and distribute books of literary value that suit the
needs of a variety of age groups as follows:
First Books (ages 3-8) for pre-school children and
those who are just starting to read.
Children’s Books (ages 8-12 ) offering a variety of
genres like novels, story books, poetry and series.
Young Adult Books (ages 12+) covers fiction and
selected non-fiction enjoyed by adults as well.
Bridge Books a unique collection by the master
authors of Turkish literature. For all ages.
For our young adult brand ON8 for ages 15+, you may review
the back side of this catalogue.
Works from world literature are meticulously translated and
edited to preserve their narrative characteristics and to present
the most effective and correct use of Turkish. Having focused
on and specialized in only contemporary children’s and
young adult literature publishing for over 20 years by now, we
developed a close collaboration with all the stakeholders of
reading culture and we consistently organize various events
like annual conferences, teacher training seminars, and
short story competitions.

MY GRANNY IS AN ALIEN
Editor: Müren Beykan
The two siblings Ayaz and Alaz were having difficulties
to understand the reason behind the “strange” behaviours
of their grandma “Bici”. This mysterious situation also
attracted the attention of their close friends living in the
same neighbourhood. Could it be possible that Grandma
Bici was seized by an alien who entered her body? The
only way to understand this was to go after the clues
by observing similar strange old people living in
the nursing home nearby!
Another page-turner from Sevgi Saygı, the favourite
author of adventurous children’s novels. In this

Alzheimer’s disease in the worlds of children by

Tolga Gümüşay
Born in 1972, Gümüşay is an important name not only in
children’s and young adult, but also in adult literature.
Besides writing books, he works as an advertising
professional. Gümüşay lives in İstanbul with
his wife and son.
When he started prep class, the dormitory became his
room and the refectory of the school replaced the warm
kitchen of his house. He had no idea that he would have
to spend the nights and even some weekends far from
his family. He was unprepared for this.
