Masha is a typical fifteen-year-old girl: she goes to school, helps her parents, sometimes has her head in the clouds, and doesn't always get along with her classmates. Only one thing sets her apart from her peers: a big dream. But is it really possible to dream about summer language courses, especially in her beloved Spain, when you come from an ordinary family and are just a teenager with no say in anything?
And even though the words "adult life" evoke fear, the time comes to move mountains. It turns out that her parents' suggestion to tutor little Dana in Spanish to save up for her trip isn't so scary after all: it means a new friendship, cool experience, and an exciting adventure. When the tickets to Barcelona are almost in her pocket, everything somehow goes wrong: the family's well-being and that very dream end up on opposite sides of the scales. But it seems Masha didn't just teach, she also learned: now she knows how to listen to her heart and do as it says. Yulia Kuznetsova is a writer, teacher, philologist, author of more than thirty works for children and teenagers, and a winner of many awards.
