Tonya Glimmerdal

The girl Tonya, nicknamed "the storm of Glimmerdal", is the only child in a Norwegian deaf village. Tonya is ten years old, she has a snow scooter and a firm belief that the main things in life are "speed and self-respect". When she rushes down the hills, singing at the top of her lungs and shining with her red hair, the entire village knows that the most important person in the valley is coming. And Tonya also has a best friend - old Gunvald, who bakes cakes for her and plays the violin for her.
"Gunvald, what would you do without me?" - Tonya often asks. "I would have buried myself in the ground and died," - Gunvald replies."
"Tonya Glimmerdal", a new book by Maria Parr, already known to the Russian reader for her story "Waffle Heart", tells about true friendship. And how sometimes children turn out to be much wiser than adults, helping them make peace with their past and rejoice in the present.
