The Wonderful Transformations of Maria Petrovna Utkin

Seven years is a serious age. At seven, a child chooses whether to go to school or directly to work. Seven-year-old Maria Petrovna Utkin wanted to start working. First as a veterinarian, and then as a cosmonaut. But at the... animal clinic, they said that first she needed to start and finish school, and then go to university. And she still hadn't grown into the tiniest spacesuit. She had to agree to school.
Big, really huge changes await Masha ahead, but there's still a whole month before the school year begins. A month full of new acquaintances, bicycle rides, playing snowy cutlets, and secret agents.
This book, full of humor, warmth, mischief, and most importantly—love and support, which we all need so much.
