The book “Tales of Smart Girls” includes three works by E. Uspensky. “Fur Boarding School” and “Stone Gnawer from Klyazma Station” talk about how smart, brave, independent elementary school girls help amazing creatures who arrived from nowhere. Children of other civilizations with extraordinary abilities are of morbid interest to military and civilian officials. The duty of real earthly girls is to protect their charges. The third story, “The Wizard Bahram,” is about another clever girl who saves a powerful but stupid wizard from big trouble. For primary school age.
