Světlik Tuchkin and the Bubble of Wishes

School life of Světlik Tuchkin turns into fantastic adventures. He travels from the past to the future, from the future to the past - without the help of any time machines. How? He doesn't know either! There is a fairy... and there is a huge soap bubble, inside which Světlik's wishes come true, but for some reason, always a little bit differently than he wants. And the adventures of the 7-year-old boy in the first grade begin, where he doesn't like it at all. Scribbles-copies, boring examples, mandatory reading - there was none of that in kindergarten, just play! "If only I could go back to that happy time," Světlik thinks one day, and along with his cousin Rodka devises what seems to be the perfect plan. Victoria Lederin (born in 1970) is a recipient of numerous awards, including the Krapivin Award. In 2019, she was awarded the "Alice" prize, established by Kir Bulichov, for the best children's science fiction novel ("Theory of Improbabilities"). With the book "Světlik Tuchkin and the Bubble of Wishes," she continues this tradition - an incredible story and precise psychological details connect the tale with the best examples of Russian children's science fiction. Although, it seems, soon her own work will be considered the standard! For younger school age. 2nd edition, corrected.
