About the book: 2017 / For the sake of love - the first in life! – Egor and Nikita are ready for anything. Buy a huge bouquet of flowers with the saved money, shower the one and only with gifts, miraculously get a ticket to the concert she desires - please! But the friends fell in love with the same girl - the new girl in the fifth "D", Angelina. What about tickets and flowers: which of them is ready to risk their lives for the sake of their beloved and what is more valuable – love or male friendship? It doesn’t matter that they are only eleven: the feelings are real! And the non-standard nature of the object of their love only proves that everything in this life happens like an adult, and it’s not at all easy. Victoria Lederman’s new book is written in the form of alternating monologues of the three main characters. The narration switches either to the thoughts of Angelina, who craves attention and deftly manipulates her classmates, then to the throwings of the good-natured hooligan Yegor, then to the experiences of the reflective “nerd” Nikita. The reader gets a rare opportunity in children's literature to understand and feel each character “from the inside,” without associating himself with just one person. Following the evolution of Yegor, Nikita and Angelina, their thoughts and feelings is a fascinating and exciting process! An eternal plot for adults and unusual for children’s literature - a love triangle - is experienced by its participants at the age of eleven as acutely as at an older age. Through the recognizable realities of our days - supermarkets, social networks, computer games - details appear that have migrated from children's classics: boyish heroism, a sense of comradeship, characters tempered from page to page. And the story about modern fifth-graders suddenly turns out to be a bridge to inner growth and maturation. “Only eleven!” or Shura-Mura in the fifth “D”” continues the traditions of Victoria Lederman’s first two books, “Ma(y)ya’s Calendar” and “Freshman”: it is just as cinematic and eventful, just as unedifying and inviting to discussion. The writer's previous stories, published by Compass Guide, became hits and have already taken pride of place on bookshelves - somewhere next to Anatoly Aleksin and Viktor Dragunsky. The new story is aimed at teenagers and will surely quickly find its fans. 2nd edition, revised.
