In total eleven or shura-mura in the fifth “D”. 7th edition, stereotypical. Lederman V.V.

For love - the first in life! - Egor and Nikita are ready for anything. Buy a huge bouquet of flowers for accumulated money, fall asleep the only gifts, miraculously, get a ticket for a concert desired for her-please! But friends fell in love with the same girl - new in the fifth “D”, Angelina. But what are tickets and flowers: which of them is ready to risk life for the sake of a loved one and what is more expensive - love or male friendship? It doesn’t matter that they are only eleven: feelings are real! And the non-standard nature of the subject of their love only proves that everything in this life happens in an adult way, and this is not at all easy.

The new book of Victoria Lederman is written in the form of alternating monologues of three main characters. The narrative switches to the thoughts of Angelina, who craves attention and deftly manipulates classmates, then for throwing a good -natured bully Yegor, then for the experiences of Nikita’s reflective “botanist”. The reader receives a rare in children's literature the opportunity to understand and feel each character “from the inside”, without associating himself with only one. Follow the evolution of Yegor, Nikita and Angelina, their thoughts and feelings - the process is fascinating and exciting!

eternal for adult and unusual plot for children's literature - a love triangle - is experienced by its participants at eleven years as acutely, as acute. As in an older age. Through the recognizable realities of our days - supermarkets, social networks, computer games - details that have migrated from children's classics appear: boyish heroism, a sense of elbow, tempting from the page to the page of the character. And the story of modern fifth graders suddenly turns out to be a bridge to internal growth and growing up.

“Only eleven! Or Shura-Mura in the fifth “D” continues the traditions of the first two books of Victoria Lederman, “The Calendar MA (Y) I” and “Framer”: she is the same cinematic and saturated with events, the same non-injective and calling for discussion. Previous novels by the writers published by Komapasgid became hits and already took honorary places on the book shelves-somewhere next to Anatoly Aleksin and Viktor Dragunsky. The story is designed for teenagers and will probably quickly find its fans.
