Names on fragments. Strelnikova K.

Clara - a twelve -year -old homebody - leaves home for the first time for a whole month. She goes to the sanatorium. The case stands on a high mountain, which is surrounded by a black forest, a salty river Usolka and three other mountains: copper, iron and glass. It looks like the background of a fairy tale-and obviously unkind. They do not fail premonitions: in the ward, her neighbors are yagish, one -armed, bald, and angry nurses - Godzilla with Kruella are scorched along the corridors... But Clara will cope with all the trials - and will acquire real, faithful friends.
