Victoria Lederman is the master of creating surefire teen hits: as a former schoolteacher, she knows everything about students—and then some! Victoria Lederman's new book is a collection of amusing sketches and funny scenes that happen in the lives of kids aged 9 to 12. That is precisely why young readers will recognize themselves, their classmates, and their friends in the characters and episodes. Stepping into hot asphalt to leave a mark on history, visiting every doctor at the clinic to find out what kind of illness to fake if you don't want to go to school, or filling a grocery cart at the supermarket to solve a math problem—Ignat Shalunov and his friend Yan Balovnev are inexhaustible in their inventions and creative approach to things.
Whether at school or summer camp, in the yard or at the summer house—it seems that the inventive friends are constantly getting into some kind of trouble, dreaming up pranks and mischief, upsetting their parents, and annoying their teachers. Although, of course, they don't do it on purpose. They simply live by their own logic. The logic of early adolescence.
