“A Big Piece of the World” is one of three books about the adventures of the Warsaw schoolgirls Terezka Kempinьska and Shpulka Bukatύvna. Energetic and quite independent seventeen-year-old girls pack their backpacks and set off on a canoe trip.
From the very first lines it becomes clear that, like Pani Joanna, the young ladies have a rare gift for ending up in stories— mysterious and dangerous.
