Nastya, Gosha Kunitsyn’s best friend, is moving north. Not beyond the Arctic Circle, just to the north of Moscow. But that’s still very far when you’re twelve and have never traveled to the other side of the city without your parents. Sure, there’s a phone and messaging apps, but it’s not the same as sitting at the same desk and passing notes in a notebook. And most importantly, what if you suddenly run out of things to talk about?..
Sofya Remez is a journalist, screenwriter, and prose writer. The protagonist of her stories, Gosha Kunitsyn, manages to balance numerous hobbies. He publishes the school newspaper and plays soccer with his younger brother. At the same time, he notices that he is growing—and it’s not just about shirts and shoes that have become too small. There is more freedom, and with it, more responsibility, and it turns out that victories don’t always bring joy. The novella is illustrated by Anna Khopta, who has nearly two dozen books to her name. The illustrations for "...Gosha" perfectly capture the mood of this fleeting and changing period of growing up.
For middle school age.
