Description

Seodangdok, who spent three years learning idioms at the Cheonghak-dong Seodang and has now surpassed his teacher, arrives in Seoul filled with dreams that opening a school will bring a huge crowd. However, things go awry when the signboard given to him by his teacher disappears. But together with Shirley, whom he met by chance, he sets out to find the thief. Discovering his talent through this case, Seodangdok, after much deliberation, opens the "Idiom Detective Agency" instead of the Seodang. As you follow the bumbling Seodangdok through mystery cases, you will find yourself reciting idioms effortlessly before you know it. His assistant, Shirley, is the very witness to this. Join the Idiom Detective Team for fun and rapid improvement in your idiom skills!

Great Books' single-volume editions contain a whopping 111 essential four-character idioms. The illustrations for the Idiom Detective Team are also incredibly cute!
