Andrey Zhvaylevsky and Evgenia Pasternak are probably the best-known authors of books for teenagers in our country today. Their new high-tension novella “Minus One” tells the story of 14-year-old Slavka, who has long been diagnosed with a fatal disease that he and his family live with. But then an authoritative professor removes this diagnosis. Now you can live freely, go to school, do sambo—and finally, parents have a chance to focus on their own affairs and themselves. But is it really that easy to start all over again?…
Another gripping contemporary novella from the well-known writing duo, which once again invents for its heroes extreme traps from which it gets harder and harder to escape—maybe it’s not the writers who come up with them, but life itself that hints at them. Test this hypothesis on yourself.
