Stories from the Front Desk

The collection includes stories about school life that were previously published in "KompasGuide" as separate books. "The board is coming... Vasilkin!" - these are stories about third grader Dima, who finds himself in funny situations. Sometimes he and his friend come up with a funny prank for April Fool's Day, sometimes he decides to learn to play the guitar by New Year at all costs, and sometimes he experiences firsthand what it means to have a "mountain off his shoulders." All these instances teach him something - lessons that you can never learn during "real" lessons. "This is our 4 'N'" - stories about an extraordinary class? On one hand - yes: after all, it’s a science class. On the other hand, the kids from 4 'N' are just like every fourth grader in the world: resourceful and disobedient, reliable and restless… Every young reader will find themselves in one of the twenty-two students. Victoria Lederman writes easily and engagingly. Therefore, her books become real hits and have firmly entered the reading circle of the modern schoolchild.
