Pavlik lives in a small town, loves reading encyclopedias, and is afraid of spiders that hide behind pipes and under beds. Pavlik also has light-colored curls like no one else in the whole wide world—which is why his family calls him "Pooh." But one day, something incredible happens: Pooh meets his doppelgänger... Who would have thought that this double would turn out to be a girl! And such a stubborn, headstrong one as Polina, whom her loved ones call by a name that’s almost the same—"Fluff"! She can speak Italian, isn't afraid to ride the Ferris wheel, and has come from the big city with her mom. But she has no idea why—after all, grown-ups don't like to explain their adult decisions.
Polina dreams of only one miracle—to return home, while Pavlik dreams of swimming on an inflatable butterfly in a real pool... and also of Polina not leaving. It seems like only a drop of magic is needed for this—but what if there is almost no time left for it? What if, any day now, when Pooh and Fluff start first grade, all the magic ends and miracles are called off? There is only one thing left to do—hurry!
This kind, slightly magical, and very real story by Yulia Simbirskaya tells about childhood in the first person—and also that if you know how to notice them, miracles will never be called off!
Finding them in this book will be easier with the colorful and playful illustrations by Olga Gromova, in which the last month of summer, true friendship, and moments of sincere childhood happiness come to life.
