Valka's Friends and Sails

Valka's friends and sails. V. Krapivin. What interests boys? Running with a soccer ball, tugging girls by their braids, and having friendly fights with each other? But there are other boys too. There are those who daydream for hours, dreaming of seas and sailing ships. Those who, in moments of despair, hear the encouraging beat of a pioneer drum. Those who are not ashamed to befriend little ones and stand up for the weak.
Fifth grader Valka Begunov is a dreamy and somewhat lonely boy who has one remarkable secret. It is his talent for drawing, thanks to which Valka finds friends, but also the reason he once has a falling out with his best friend. How to find justice and show everyone what you are worth when no one believes you? How to understand whom you can rely on and whom you can trust? V. P. Krapivin's story "Valka's Friends and Sails" is a work that not only provides answers to important questions that arise on the path to growing up but also wonderfully fills leisure time. Krapivin's style is light, lively, and incredibly engaging.
