President of the Stone Island

President of the Stone Island. Kozlov V.F.. What are the components of a good book for teenagers? Mystery and intrigue, strong and charismatic heroes, a struggle for genuine ideals, and of course, first love… In the middle of the lake... on the impregnable Stone Island, there is a summer camp for children from orphanages - a true republic with a president at the head and strict, almost military discipline. The boys dive from high banks, fight poachers, befriend military pilots, and dream of becoming astronauts. They also have a serious task - the kids across the country are trying to find the great-grandson of the hero of the Civil War, Smely... Alyonka and Seryozha, who decided to spend the summer in their father's homeland, will not only get to know the island republic and its leader but also help unravel the mystery of the missing boy… Illustrations for the wonderful story by William Kozlov were created by the famous artist Svetozar Ostrov. His graphic black-and-white drawings vividly reveal the harsh yet interesting and adventurous life of Stone Island. And another secret of the book is that the setting is not fictional but very real. And for an inquisitive reader, finding it is a piece of cake!
