Walking on the Sky

When a person leaves, it is hard to accept. Misha is gone, and his friend Seva and his half-sister Glasha have to live with what they said and did the last time they saw Misha. All that remains are questions and a shared feeling of guilt… And there is also a blog "Walking on the Sky," where Misha wrote the most important and intimate things, just for himself.

In an attempt to find out what happened that February evening, two very different teenagers, Seva and Glasha, come together and conduct their own investigation. They will discover Misha in a way they never knew him, and along with that knowledge, they will find themselves.

Seva and Glasha are very different. A football player, a handsome guy and a proud high school girl, a fan of black. They would never have noticed each other if it weren't for Misha — absurd and funny, dreaming of spring arriving soon. A friend that Seva is a bit shy about and a step-brother that Glasha didn’t need. But a terrible thing happens, and Misha is gone. And Glasha and Seva are left with questions and unspoken words, as well as a huge feeling of guilt that doesn’t let them breathe. Accidentally discovering Misha's blog online, Seva and Glasha join forces to find out how the boy actually died. It turns out, the kids didn't really know Misha at all! Collecting information piece by piece, Glasha and Seva rediscover Misha, and in him, now forever gone, there is so much light that it illuminates both them and their friends.

The book does not try to touch the reader — it is about the fragility of happiness and the importance of the right words, and about the fact that even after the harshest winter, spring will inevitably come. The psychological tale by Ekaterina Aksenova about how to find a person when it seems you have already lost them forever will be of interest to everyone who loves honest and sincere stories.
