When the summer camp decided to hold an archery tournament, one of the best marksmen, Volodya Novosyolov, was assigned an unremarkable, quiet, and timid younger camper named Kashka as his squire. What kind of squire was that supposed to be! But it later turned out that Kashka was a true friend, and in true friendship, age does not matter. The novella, written by Vladislav Krapivin in 1965, is still a page-turner today, as the author authentically and delicately reveals the world of a child's soul, telling the story of how that great and selfless human emotion—friendship—is born and grows.
