About the book: year / Svetlik Tuchkin’s school life turns into fantastic adventures. He travels from the past to the future, from the future to the past - without the help of any time machines. How? He doesn't know it himself! There is a fairy and there is a huge soap bubble, inside which Svetlik’s wishes come true, but for some reason they are always a little different from what he wants. And the adventures of a seven-year-old boy begin in the first grade, where he does not like it at all. Squiggles, boring examples, compulsory reading - there was nothing like that in kindergarten, just know how to play! “I wish I could go back to that happy time,” Svetlik thinks one day, and together with his cousin Rodka he comes up with a seemingly ideal plan. Victoria Lederman (born in 1970) is a winner of numerous awards, including Krapivinskaya. In 2019, she was awarded the Alice Prize, founded by Kir Bulychev, for the best children's science fiction novel (“Theory of Improbabilities”). With the book “Svetlik Tuchkin and the Bubble of Desires” she continues this tradition - an incredible story and precise psychological details make the story similar to the best examples of Russian children's fiction. Although, it seems, the work of Victoria Lederman herself will soon be considered a model!
