Reforming the Quiet One

A winter novelty from Asi Lavrinovich—one of Russia’s most widely read young adult authors. The total circulation of her books has exceeded 1 million copies.

One winter ball, one adorable mini-pig, and one innocent lie that will set off a chain of events and turn ordinary life upside down. This New Year will definitely be remembered for a long time!

Teona Berya seems to have everything high school students dream of: close girlfriends, school popularity, attractive looks, and excellent grades. And recently, the most noticeable guy in the class invited her to the traditional ball. But due to serious problems at her father’s workplace, Teona has to move to another city urgently—to her step older sister, whom she barely knows. In an instant, both plans and dreams collapse.

At the new school, Teona meets the quiet, unnoticed Yasu Dvonik and the closed, mysterious Tikhon Barko. Learning that Yasu has long wanted to become popular, Teona decides to run an experiment: turn the modest girl into a school star—and convince Tikhon to date the school queen. The task isn’t easy!
