The collection "The Adventures of Svetlik Tuchkin" features two stories about first-graders — "Svetlik Tuchkin and the Bubble of Wishes" and "Svetlik Tuchkin and the Stolen Vacation." Engaging stories, precise psychological details, unusual plots, and light humor make Victoria Lederman's books popular among children and adults alike. And this collection is no exception. Just imagine: seven-year-old Svetlik never expected that the squiggles and handwriting practice in the first grade would be so boring! Kindergarten was much better! "If only I could go back to those happy times and not have to do any homework at all!" Svetlik wishes with all his heart as he steps into a magic soap bubble blown by the Wish Fairy at the first-graders' induction ceremony. And his dream comes true — in such a way that the boy has to think many more times about what he really wants. And when the adventures with the wish bubble conclude, a palm-sized little man appears from a New Year's gift and predicts: there will be no long-awaited vacation! Someone has kidnapped the living toy from the main Christmas tree, and now New Year's is cancelled. Svetlik and his cousin Rodka could help. But how can they do it if they were punished for running off to the sledding hill and banned from the trip to see Father Frost? The boys will surely come up with something and find themselves in more scrapes that are fun to follow — with excitement and laughter — not only for elementary school readers, but for the whole family.
