Lyudmila Petrushevskaya is sometimes called the new Andersen. Maybe because her fairy tales are not exactly for children, they are more likely for older people who have seen a lot in their lifetime. This book is for them, for those who love fantastic and magical turns of life - and who will understand how victory over fate is achieved if in the evening you were eighty, and in the morning you became thirteen, and you have to go to school, and you want to eat, and there is no mom or dad, and how can you get a pension now?.. And what to do if you can protect the whole world from an invasion from an evil planet, and you are only five years old? And what to do if you are a nobody, the world doesn’t accept you, they bully you, and suddenly the fate of an even more defenseless creature is in your hands? And when you start helping him and saving him, you will definitely grow in your own eyes. And this is the most important thing.
