The Holiday Will Definitely Come. 13 New Year's Stories

The number 13 is commonly considered unlucky. However, our stories prove that when you love, it's not the omens that matter, but the people. The heroes of this collection are ordinary boys and girls aged 9 to 12, along with... their mothers and fathers, grandmothers and grandfathers. And all of them become a bit like magicians in the run-up to the New Year. One boy wishes his mother a kind boss; a grandmother tells her grandchildren about how, in her childhood, she received the most important gift from Father Frost - health; and a girl, finding herself in the hospital on New Year's, unexpectedly becomes the main character of a fairy tale. Well-known authors from “KompastGuide” believe that our wishes often come true in the most unpredictable ways. And despite difficulties and obstacles, the New Year's holiday will definitely come. Especially if we are full of hope and kind wishes. The wonderful illustrations by artist Evgenia Dvoskina help to create the New Year's atmosphere throughout the collection.
