Red Folder. Scars that Give Wings

The beginning of the sixth grade brings trouble for Rex Oglu. In the school cafeteria, he pays not with money, but with coupons for free lunch — and feels the gaze of more affluent classmates upon him. In class, he is met by a teacher with prejudices, and his home is a cramped apartment where family quarrels occur constantly, prohibiting him from living like a 'normal' teenager and forcing him to take care of his younger brother. But Rex does not let despair take over. Step by step, he moves toward his dream of a warm family, true friendship, and self-confidence. An autobiographical story about how hope, love, and perseverance help to change life.
