In the Boat of Bear Dreams

Varya's life turned upside down in an instant – the instant when Marina, who was visiting her, disappears after touching the famous Perm monument. And although Varya never liked Marina, what is she to do about the fact that her mother has disappeared along with her? Now Varya will have to enlist the help of Vasilisk, her sworn rival in the rock climbing section, and their coach, to rush to the rescue. Together, they are transported to another, very strange world where they will have to recall everything they know about the folklore and myths of their homeland in order to save everyone and find their way back.

A mystical adventure tale by Oksana ZaUGOL'naya, based on Komi-Permyak mythology, is aimed at older teenagers who love mysteries, puzzles, adventures, and know that the world is often not what it seems.
