The Magical Life of Kostya Chizhikova

Kostya Chizhikova is an apparently ordinary boy of six years and five months. But this is only how he seems! Because in reality, Kostya is a magician. His wonderful abilities were inherited from his great-great-grandfather, though just a little bit and with one condition: magic starts to happen only when Kostya gets... bored!

And how can one not get bored when at kindergarten they serve semolina porridge for breakfast again, grandma asks him to dust the ficus, or when fishing with dad there are no bites at all? It's no surprise that miracles in the Chizhikova family never stop: an elephant might settle in their apartment, grandma might turn into a girl, cacti might sing with human voices, or dad might have to compete with a real prince for mom's attention.

A magical, kind, and very funny story by Anastasia Gunder with bright and lively illustrations by Diana Lapshina - for everyone who doesn't like to be bored!
