It happens sometimes—remarkably different people meet and become friends.
Gutya is always polite and obedient, gets excellent grades, eats healthily, and keeps good posture. She is a good girl who, more than anything else in the world, is afraid of breaking the rules for good girls. Dashka lives with her heart on her sleeve: she laughs and sings, says hello to chestnut trees, turns pillowcases into birds, and turns the walk to school into an adventure. She gives cookies to passersby—just because. She lives generously and enthusiastically for no reason at all, as if she is in a hurry to get as much done as possible.
Remarkably different. But their friendship proves stronger than prejudices, weakness, pain, and even fear.
For middle-grade children.
