Mole on the cheek. Sirotin D.A.

Ninth grader Mitya lives in a small cold city in the far north. He falls in love with Natasha from a parallel class and devotes poetry to her. Unable to withstand the threats from the Natashin fans and ridicule of classmates, Mitya goes to the hospital. On the advice of a doctor, he begins to keep a diary in which he writes about hospital everyday life and talks about his life. Mitya thinks why he fell in love with Natasha and whether he was, why he was frightened, why his mother could not understand him and why his father, whose advice would be useful to him, lives far with another family. He asks himself serious, adult questions and tries to find honest answers to them. “And for some reason, this feeling of happiness broke through through grief,” recalls Mitya. He does not know why. How does happiness break through the grief? And I don't know. I just read the pages of the diary and feel happiness with Mitya. I see that it happens. And I hope this "medicine". Such a faith in a good and talented person. ” Arthur Givargizov about the novel "Mole on the cheek" for secondary school age.
