If you want to make Santa Claus laugh, tell him your plans.

This is a rare kind of school: a fairytale atmosphere reigns within. And that’s because the only people who work and study here are fairytale characters: Kostik the Immortal, Vasya the Beautiful, Misha the Leshy, Kotofey Kotofeich Pushkin, and many others. And, of course, the main heroine - Yozhka Kostyanozhkina!

But New Year is New Year everywhere, even in a fairytale school, so no matter how cool it is here, the students are still looking forward to heading off on vacation to their own places: to their homes, forests, and swamps...
Alas, it is not meant to be, because at the end of December, a strange virus attacked the school, and now, to prevent the infection from spreading, everyone is being kept in quarantine. This virus covers its carrier in exotic patterns and makes them behave strangely, but other than that, it’s fine, you can live with it...

To celebrate the holiday properly, it was decided to put on a New Year's play at the school. The plot is this: someone has kidnapped the Snow Maiden, and without her, the New Year won't come. Ugh, old as the very first "Christmas Tree" in the country, right?! But, as they say, if you want to make Father Frost laugh, tell him your plans. The whole play idea falls apart because...

Because the wicked Snow Queen Izolda, who has absolutely nothing to do with the school, kidnaps Yozhka, her classmates, and about two hundred other Snow Maidens from all over the country to boot. And all because of love. Although, wait! We're getting ahead of ourselves - read it for yourself, this story has so many twists!

But we warn you: this book has funny humor, though some may think that things like "silly Snow Maidens," "frozen-stiff snowmen," and "nordic-psychic beautiful infections" have no place in a children's book. So, if you prefer fairytales in a more refined style, "Yozhka" is not for you. But if, on the contrary, you like crossovers, references to modern culture, slang words (not rude, heaven forbid, no!), and Easter eggs for parents, then "Yozhka" is a totally cool story, you’ll have a laugh.
