Тропы Аиды

Aida understands the language of animals and birds, can cast spells and play with lightning. She enjoys living with her grandmother in a small house: there is an apple tree and a bench, drawings and notebooks, clay figurines and homemade dream catchers, and behind the carpet on the wall live painted birds. Dogs and the semi-wild cat Samposybe come here. The attic and the shed, the fence with secret passages lead to secret trails known only to Aida - the Glassblower's Stick, the Coronation Portal, the Trail of the Sleeping... In short, if Luna Lovegood studied in the fifth grade of an ordinary school, she would be very similar to Aida. As in every school story, there is room for friendship, betrayal, and unexpected discoveries.
