The first law of the screw. Streltsova A.

Shurke Dobrynin is twelve years old. He would be glad to be a sled or shurka. Yes, at least Alexander! But with a light mother’s hand, everyone calls him a screw.

Once after training in karate, a screwdriver falls into the hands of a screw (I must say, not quite an honest way) an old compass. This begins the adventures of our hero: either he helps out a girl from trouble, then the real owl starts up, then helps an unfamiliar grandmother. Each time after a good deed, the screwdriver miraculously fulfills one desire. The boy understands: he opened the compass law. It's simple: I - you, and you are me. But in reality everything is different: doing good deeds is not so easy. Shurka refuses a friend, betrays his brother and, in pursuit of ghostly happiness, does not have time to make the most important. Can a screwdriver correct everything that he did, and will find a way out of a difficult situation?

“The first law of a screwdriver” is a cheerful and good story by Alisa Streltsova, laureate of the International Children's Prize named after V.P. Krapivina (2021) in the nomination “Choice of a professional jury” not only reveals the amazing world of younger teenagers, but easily and unobtrusively reminds how important it is to follow the call of his own heart.
