My father lit stars

"Hey! Is there at least someone? " - The snail"s gaze fell on this inscription when he was sitting on the steps of the entrance. He sat, clasping his knees, and almost cried, and here - such a frivolous greetings by a marker on the wall. He offended the only school girlfriend, his mother lies in the hospital, at home only a father, with whom he had not communicated before - how much? Eleven years old! .. "There is me here! Will it come? " - the boy wrote a little lower.
This momentary reaction, a simple weakness of character pushed usually slow and indecisive - the snail! - The hero to adventures, discoveries and new friends. Sometimes you need so little that a lot to change: just answer someone"s non-binding question!
Tatyana Menshchikova"s debut book "My father lit stars", with all the emphasized modernity, is completely devoid of a binding to the era. Those difficulties faced by a twelve -year -old hero, the psychological details that are replete with the text, even the nicknames that schoolchildren give out to their teachers and each other - all this is easy to present in classical school stories. It is not surprising that the book leaves an amazing feeling: the last page was just left behind - but it seems as if this story has been with you since childhood.
