Timur and His Team

The book «Timur and His Team» includes two novellas by Arkady Gaidar: «Timur and His Team» and «The Commandant of the Snow Fortress». Written shortly before the war in 1940, they tell the story of teenagers who unite in a team for games and help the families of Red Army soldiers. And since the assistance is provided in secret, good deeds also turn into a game of chance, which greatly disturbs the civilian population of the dacha community. «The Commandant of the Snow Fortress» is a peculiar reflection of the ongoing Finnish war, children's winter games that closely resemble harsh reality. For middle school age.
