Özet:

 The Paul Street Boys by Ferenc Molnar is a classic widely read around the world. The work, which was made into a book in 1907, is among the important works of Hungarian literature. Evaluated in the category of early teenage books, the book presents the manifestations of serious struggle, betrayal, splitting into groups, risking death for the things they love, and the feeling of residing in a group in the world of children. The topic of the book is a group of children protecting the plot they are playing on. There is a military hierarchy within the group consisting of children from poor families. There is also a group called the red shirts, formed by the children of rich families. The red shirts want to buy this land because there are no playgrounds. Nemecsek, Boka and their friends want to protect their playground at the risk of their lives. At the end of the text, Nemecsek falls ill and dies. There are three basic principles that childrens literature must adhere to: child reality, child perspective, and child relevance. In this study, in the first place, the gaps between childrens literature and early youth literature will be mentioned. The possible effects of the book on young children will be discussed. In summary, the study aims to discuss whether The Paul Street Boys, which appeals not only to children or young people, but also to readers of all ages, is suitable for children in terms of the basis of childrens literature.

 Ferenc Molnarın kaleme aldığı Pal Sokağı Çocukları sevilerek okunan bir klasiktir. 1907 yılında kitap hâline getirilen eser, Macar edebiyatının önemli eserleri arasında yer almaktadır. İlk gençlik çağı kitapları kategorisinde değerlendirilen kitap ciddi mücadelenin, ihanetin, gruplara bölünmenin, sevdiği şeyler uğruna ölümü göze almanın ve bir gruba ait olma duygusunun çocukların dünyasındaki görünümlerini sunar. Kitabın konusu bir grup çocuğun oynadıkları arsayı korumalarıdır. Fakir aile çocuklarından oluşan grubun içerisinde askerî bir hiyerarşi vardır. Bir de zengin aile çocuklarının oluşturduğu Kırmızı Gömlekliler diye adlandırılan grup vardır. Kırmızı Gömlekliler oyun alanları olmadığı için Pal Sokağı çocuklarının arsasını almak istemektedir. Nemecsek, Boka ve arkadaşları ise oyun alanlarını hayatları pahasına korumaktadırlar. Hikâyenin sonunda Nemecsek hastalanıp ölmektedir. Çocuklara yönelik edebiyatın uyması gereken üç temel ilke vardır: çocuk gerçekliği, çocuk bakış açısı ve çocuğa görelik. Bu çalışmada öncelikle çocuk edebiyatı ve ilk gençlik çağı edebiyatı arasındaki faklardan söz edilecektir. Kitabın ilk gençlik çağındaki çocuklar üzerindeki olası etkileri tartışılacaktır. Özetle çalışma sadece çocuklara ya da gençlere değil her yaştan okura hitap eden Pal Sokağı Çocuklarının çocuk edebiyatının temel ilkeleri bakımından çocuklara uygun olup olmadığını tartışmayı amaçlamaktadır.
