Features: Three members of the "Anti-Girl Vow" gang—Mark, Dicky, and Jan—join together to participate in a table tennis tournament. During the tense and tedious training, they meet a girl—Lina, Dicky's cousin. The boys fall in love with her one after another and break their vow. The boys also develop rifts with each other, and their friendship faces a severe test. Will the "MDJ" gang disband? Can the competition proceed smoothly? This is a coming-of-age story about boys, highlighting the importance of friendship and the ambiguous longing for the opposite sex, all of which are true reflections of the lives of cool boys.
The "Cool Boys" series is selected from the best-selling "Boys' Allowed" series, which has dominated the European youth book market. It is the first time this series has been translated and published in China. Since its debut in German in 2002, the series has become one of the most well-known books among European teenage readers, with global sales exceeding 10 million copies. It has been loved by Western teenagers, parents, and teachers alike, with some content even included in German middle and high school textbooks. It is hailed as the "ideal reading material to guide boys and girls through love and physical confusion during adolescence."
