Grigory Babochkin and German Sto... no, German Babochkin and Grigory Stolyarov. Two completely different teenagers. One dreams of becoming a hockey player, goes towards this with leaps and bounds, simultaneously becoming the favorite of everyone around him. The other is the object of everyone's ridicule, but at the same time seems... fearless? reckless? Two opposites converge, discover in each other something that they themselves lack. It seems that this True Male Friendship will help both of them cope with anything: with anxiety before competition, with family difficulties and misunderstandings of loved ones, with bullying and ridicule. So it is - but only until first love intervenes. Until an unfamiliar feeling triggers a clockwork - which will detonate a time bomb at the most unexpected moment... Anna Zenkova's new novel is an amazingly powerful text that reveals the personalities of 14-year-old heroes in all the contradictions and in everything that teenagers have in common. Built in the form of two audio diaries that Grigory and German keep during the school year, the book will resonate in the soul of everyone - a teenager or an adult. Anna Zenkova is a young writer, winner of the "Teenager N" competition, organized by "Compass Guide" together with "Labyrinth" in 2019. Her debut story “With Warm Greetings from Fyokla” was awarded the Krapivin Prize in the honorary category “Commander’s Choice”, and as soon as it was published, it was included in the lists of the best children’s works and received many laudatory reviews - including as “a reliable book about growing up, in in which there is no division into good and evil characters, but there is a place for life circumstances and personal choice.” The second book by Anna Zenkova, “Gregory without patronymic Babochkin,” published by Compass Guide, equally carefully touches on controversial family and social topics - and creates a truthful portrait of the generation. The publishing layout of the book is saved in PDF A4 format.
