Mia has three older brothers, three younger sisters and a lot of responsibilities. And two joys: the sea and an old book in the attic. She doesn't yet know that the world is much bigger than she was told. That there are places where the sea is prohibited, because the sea is freedom, and people who dream of freedom are disliked either by the Empire or by the most prosperous city in the world. That a book inherited is not at all simple, and the ability to write one’s own story is more important than the ability to read. Moreover, this requires courage.
Mia is not sure that she wants to know the terrible secrets in which people dear to her are unexpectedly involved. She doubts whether it is worth continuing on this path, which has more questions than answers. Too many oddities and coincidences. And complete uncertainty lies ahead. The story “Miya,” which opens the “Seven Spinners” series, is the first fantasy by Tamara Mikheeva, the author of many works for children and teenagers and winner of several awards for children’s literature.
In the new book, the writer’s skill is revealed from an unexpected side, and fairy tales acquire special depth and parable quality.
