Feature
★This book depicts the subtle human psychology lurking deep within children, such as prejudice, rejection, relative superiority, and hatred.
★Even if parents want their children to lead independent lives, few parents can trust them completely and leave all decisions to them. As long as adults still want to express themselves within the strict order of this society, children will never be able to escape the life of a puppets on a string.

Description
In addition, it constantly asks the reader whose words are true and whose words are wrong, and what truths lie between the facts and the lies.
These questions about truth are symbolized by the dance of the puppets. Like a puppet unable to dance on its own, the story culminates in the realization of who is being manipulated and who will be the first to break free of the strings holding them back. Moreover, the phenomenon of "exclusion due to prejudice and hatred", symbolized by the strings of puppets, is not only happened limited to the children in the class. Aren't those children also puppets dancing on the strings of the world and adults?
