The Adventures of Mira and Laika

Sometimes people get along and live calmly, and sometimes they constantly argue and can’t find a common language—about such people people say: “They live like cat and dog.” Angelina Luchik is the literary name of my daughter; she’s only ten. After hearing this expression once, she decided to imagine what it’s really like—to share one house with Miera the cat and Laika the dog. When I read her manuscript, I was genuinely impressed: for her age, she had an unexpectedly confident language and writing style. To preserve her first experience as a writer, I took on the task of polishing the text a bit and turning it into a complete story. How did this unusual collaboration turn out? Judge for yourselves, readers. But it will also be very pleasant for both me and the young author to see your attention to this book.
