Alyosha can fly

In August, when the huge courtyard is still empty, Alyoshka flies from corner to arch. She has no wings, but one can soar in the air even without them, just with imagination. This is her not-so-secret secret: no one should see her flights, not even her best friends Danka and Ulka. They haven't arrived yet, but summer always brings new acquaintances. A boy named Naum walks alone until late in the evening. And it seems he can read minds... What to do with that? Anna Bespyatykh is a philologist, teacher, and translator. Her heroine is a girl who believes in miracles and knows for sure that with great effort, even a window or staircase can be tamed, and poetic lines can turn into real spells. Alyoshka's magical world encounters something uncomfortable and threatening, but she knows how to deal with it. Artist Natasha Morozova delicately recreated the airy atmosphere of the book. For elementary and middle school age.
