To return from sunny Barcelona to Moscow and land right in the middle of the most unexpected events? That’s very much in Masha Molochnikova’s spirit! The moment she stepped off the plane, astonishing news started pouring in one after another—and not all of it made Masha happy.

A string of shocks is what the heroine’s first days in 11th grade will be remembered for. Luckily, there’s also something to look forward to: studying Spanish—true happiness! And not only as Beatrice’s student, but also as a teacher for little Dana. And of course, as a friend to write to: the mysterious gloomy Jorge and the enthusiastic kindhearted Lyubomir—let them be thousands of kilometers away; email makes them closer. For a while.

In the final part of the trilogy “First Job,” the life of the 16-year-old heroine speeds up and becomes more complicated. Not a day passes without changes and surprises, but even more important—every day brings discoveries. And the main one is this: the previous year taught the heroine a lot, and now she can overcome difficulties.

Yulia Kuznetsova (author of the stories “Where’s Dad?,” “A Made-Up Bug,” “House P,” and others) concludes the trilogy “First Job” on an optimistic note. Each part is written in its own genre—coming-of-age story, a light summer book, a psychological novel—but they are united not only by the title and the illustrations of Yevgeniya Dvoskina. More importantly, Yulia Kuznetsova gives the reader a chance, watching Masha, to understand themselves: the writer has no equal when it comes to expressing what an adolescent worries about.
