The author's next collection includes stories by V. Krapivin, written in recent years. Fairy-tale fantasy plots are intertwined with real, sometimes quite harsh problems of school life. The heroes of the story “Blue City on Sadovaya” create an amateur film studio and fearlessly enter into the fight against the arbitrariness of school authorities and the police, for the health, honor and dignity of their peers... Mitya Zaitsev was unfairly accused of falsely reporting a terrorist attack. And who knows how the “mercury bomb case” would have ended if help had not come in time... Schoolgirl Zina, the heroine of the story “Thirty-three - wipe your nose,” would never have learned about the magical secrets of the number 33, or the mysterious and the sometimes terrible adventures of Vinka and his friends, if her antiquated grandfather had not bought a spyglass.
