“Courses and the sea”—these words, spoken in Spanish, charmed Masha Molochnikova, a high school student. Three weeks living by the Mediterranean and studying her favorite language—what could be better? Probably nothing. But it’s also more useful—at least in the parents’ opinion—for example, to replace the apartment’s windows for the same money.
Masha had almost given up her dream of Barcelona when adults suggested an idea: why not earn for the trip on her own? There was also an option—to become a tutor for six-year-old Dana. Her mother decided that the spoiled and disobedient girl needs the basics of Spanish—and the mother is forever flying abroad with her daughter. Masha agrees—and at fifteen becomes the real teacher.
The novella “First Job” isn’t about a job at all, but about learning to understand other people. Watching Dana and trying to get her interested, the young teacher learns many interesting things about the world around her. Suddenly it becomes clear why the little girl’s nanny is sometimes rude and unpleasant, and why teachers can be boring or irritating. And of course: it becomes clear why Romka, the neighbor in the classroom, asks Masha to help with history…
Yulia Kuznetsova is the laureate of the “Cherished Dream,” “Kniguru,” and V. P. Krapivin International Children’s Awards. She is the author of the stories beloved by readers and critics: “House P,” “Where’s Dad?,” and “Invented Zhyuchok.” Yulia believes that a good book should combine two points of view: the child’s and the adult’s—
—which is what she achieves in her novellas. Soon Hungarian readers will discover the author: a translation of “House P” into Hungarian is being prepared. “First Job” was included in the list of the best books of 2016 compiled by the teen editorial team of the website “Papmambuk.”
