Vanya is finishing first grade. He can't wait for the final school bell to ring and summer vacation to begin. However, he is very worried because his parents are planning to send him to the countryside to stay with an aunt he barely remembers. The boy will be left without his parents and friends for the entire summer. But his worries turn out to be in vain: in the village, Vanya meets Lyovka and Varya, and together they splash in the lake, race down hills, build a hay fort, and take care of stray kittens. These are Vanya's best holidays ever! Nyuta Yakovleva's book is saturated with summer, the smell of fresh bread, the scent of freshly mown hay, the taste of berries, the coolness of the lake, and the wind in your face.
