The Holiday Will Certainly Come. 13 New Year Stories

The number 13 is considered unlucky. However, our stories prove that when you love, it is not the omens that matter, but the people. The heroes of this collection are ordinary boys and girls aged 9 to 12, as well... as their moms and dads, grandmas and grandpas. And all of them, on the eve of the New Year, become a little bit like wizards. One boy wishes his mom a kind boss; a grandmother tells her grandchildren about how she received the most important gift - health - from Grandfather Frost in her childhood; and a girl, finding herself in the hospital on New Year's, unexpectedly becomes the main character of a fairy tale. Already known to readers, the authors of «KompasGid» are sure: often our wishes come true in the most unpredictable ways. And despite difficulties and obstacles, the New Year holiday will certainly come. Especially if we are filled with hopes and good wishes. The festive atmosphere is supported by the wonderful illustrations of the artist Evgenia Dvoskina on the pages of the collection.
