Asino Summer

Summer is the most magical time of the year: it seems that every day promises wonders and getting into some adventure is easier than ever. But Praskovya Shustova, or simply Asya, could not even imagine what magical adventures and miracles awaited her in the most ordinary summer camp! It’s no joke - barely having arrived, she makes friends with gnomes and fairies, learns to fly, visits an underground palace and an underwater kingdom… There turns out to be so much magic around that it takes your breath away! The main thing is for the camp counselor Lena not to suspect anything, and the other kids not to find out about Asya's unusual friends - they won't believe it! And also, life flows in the camp: the boys tease and fool around, the girls prepare for a beauty contest, everyone plays pioneer ball together, gathers for a campfire and a disco, and of course, they tell scary stories in the evenings. Joys and disappointments happen, true friendship is born, and even first love… Ahead lies a whole summer, and for Asya - not only exciting adventures, but also real, dangerous trials: she will have to gather courage and perform a real miracle herself to save her "almost friend" Kolya Ogurtsov. The magical tale by Tamara Mikheeva has already undergone several reprints: without ceasing to captivate from the first line, it instantly transports the reader into the charming and familiar atmosphere of a summer camp - the very place where wonders are hurried to happen. The colorful summer illustrations for this edition were created by Lyudmila Pipchenko.
