For the sake of love - the first in life! - Egor and Nikita are ready for anything. To buy a huge bouquet of flowers with their saved money, to shower their beloved with unique gifts, to miraculously get a ticket to the concert she desires - sure thing! The only problem is that the friends have fallen in love with the same girl - a newcomer in the fifth grade, Angelina. But forget about tickets and flowers: which of them is willing to risk their life for their beloved, and what is more valuable - love or male friendship? It doesn't matter that they are only eleven: their feelings are very real! And the unconventional nature of their love object only proves that everything in this life happens in an adult way, and it's not easy at all.
Victoria Lederman's new book is written in the form of alternating monologues of the three main characters. The narrative switches between Angelina's reflections, who craves attention and skillfully manipulates her classmates, to the antics of the good-natured troublemaker Egor, to the reflections of the introspective "nerd" Nikita. The reader gets a rare opportunity in children's literature to understand and empathize with each character from the inside, not just associating themselves with one person. Following the evolution of Egor, Nikita, and Angelina, their thoughts and feelings is an engaging and exciting process!
The eternal plot for adults and unusual for children's literature - a love triangle - is experienced by its participants at the age of eleven as keenly as in adulthood. Through the recognizable realities of our days - supermarkets, social networks, computer games - details emerge that have migrated from children's classics: boyish heroism, the sense of rivalry, characters that toughen up from page to page. And the story about modern fifth graders suddenly becomes a bridge to inner growth and maturation.
"Only eleven! or Shury-mury in the fifth 'D'" continues the traditions of Victoria Lederman's first two books, "May Calendar" and "Freshman": it is just as cinematic and eventful, just as non-preachy and inviting to discussion. The author's previous novels, published by "KompasGid," have become hits and have already taken honorable places on bookshelves - somewhere near Anatoly Alexin and Victor Dragunsky. The new novel is aimed at teenagers and will surely quickly find its fans.
For middle school age.
6th edition, stereotype.
