Lev Davydichev (1927–1988) was a Soviet writer whose works for children remain witty and relevant today. The prose writer's sense of humor was appreciated not only in the Soviet Union — his books were also published in Hungary, Poland, Czechoslovakia, and Bulgaria. The book “The Life and Sufferings of Ivan Semyonov, a Second Grader and a Repeat Student” is dedicated to the fun adventures of a lazy, but kind and mischievous boy with a vivid imagination. The colorful illustrations for the book were created by the artist Maria Spekhova. For middle school age.
