Summer is the most magical time of the year: it feels as though every day promises wonders and finding an adventure is easier than ever. But Praskovya Shustova—or just Asya, as she prefers—had no idea what magical adventures and wonders awaited her in a perfectly ordinary summer camp! It's no joke: barely having arrived, she makes friends with gnomes and fairies, learns to fly, and visits an underground palace and an underwater kingdom... There is so much magic all around that it takes one's breath away! The main thing is to make sure Lena, the camp counselor, doesn't suspect anything, and that the other kids don't find out about Asya’s unusual friends—they wouldn't believe it! Meanwhile, life goes on at camp: boys tease and mess around, girls prepare for a beauty pageant, everyone plays volleyball together, gathers for bonfires and discos, and, of course, tells ghost stories in the evenings. Joys and disappointments occur, true friendship is born, and even first love blossoms... A whole summer lies ahead, and for Asya, there are not only thrilling adventures but also real, danger-filled trials: she will have to summon her courage and perform a true miracle herself to save her "almost boyfriend" Kolka Ogurtsov.
Tamara Mikheeva’s magical tale has already gone through several reprints: captivating from the very first line, it instantly transports the reader into the charming and familiar atmosphere of a summer camp—the very place where miracles are in a hurry to happen.
