Sveta is open to the world and does not expect bad things from people, even though they sometimes do strange things and may be difficult to understand. Katya is impenetrable and unlike anyone else, she seems to be from another world and is attractive to Sveta precisely because of her otherness. I want to protect her, help her and be a true friend.

And the point is not at all that the witchcraft stone-charmstone, which fell into Katya’s hands, knows everything about a person... The story “Izo” took first place in 2018 at “Kniguru” - the largest competition of children’s and teenage literature in Russian, where the winner readers choose. And Samokat published stories by Evgenia Basova (under the pseudonym Ilga Ponornitskaya) “Hey, Rybka!” and “School across the road.”
