The Adventures of Svyetlik Tuchkin

In the collection "The Adventures of Svyetlik Tuchkin," the publishing house "KompasGid" has brought together two stories about first-graders – "Svyetlik Tuchkin and the Bubble of Wishes" and "Svyetlik Tuchkin and the Stolen Holidays." Captivating stories, precise psychological details, unusual plots, and light humor make Victoria Lederman's books popular among children and adults. And this collection is no exception.
Just imagine: seven-year-old Svyetlik never expected that the squiggly letters in first grade would be so boring! Kindergarten was so much better! "If only I could go back to that happy time and not study at all!" Svyetlik wishes with all his heart as he steps into a magical soap bubble blown by the Fairy of Wishes at the first-graders' initiation. And his wish comes true – so much so that the boy has to think many times about what he actually wants.
And when the adventures with the Bubble of Wishes come to an end, a little figure the size of a palm appears from a New Year's gift – and predicts: the long-awaited holidays will not happen! Someone has stolen the living toy from the main Christmas tree, and now New Year's is canceled. Svyetlik and his cousin Rodka could help. But how can they do that when they have been punished for sneaking to the slide and denied a trip to Father Frost? The boys will definitely come up with something and find themselves in stories that are interesting to watch – with excitement and laughter – not only for early-grade readers but for the whole family.
