Dinka, the girl, was adopted. From the orphanage, she ended up in the Light Mountains, a small village among the big, majestic mountains. There, the pines, like giant brothers, surrounded Dinka and her new family: the kind Yuras, the talented Zhenya, the gentle mother Katya, aunt Sveta, uncle Sasha, and uncle Petyu. The oldest among them was grandmother Tasia, herself like a little pine - slender, dry, but strong and full of love, which helped her live a difficult life and helps all her children and grandchildren. This is a wonderful example of modern prose: bright, kind, sincere, an engaging book for teenagers. In the illustrations by artist Anastasia Serpreki, the rustling of pines, the wind in Dinka's hair, the splash of water in the forest lake, and, most importantly, the kindness of the majestic land and its inhabitants became real. Tamara Mikheeva has written such children’s bestsellers as "Tinky the Squirrel" and "Once Upon a Time, There Were Pencils". A book for teenagers aged 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15 years. Dense offset paper. Convenient format. High-quality printing.
