Stories of Lucy Sinitsyna, a Third-Grade Student

Stories about Lucy Sinitsyna’s life are well known to more than one generation of readers. She, like any third grader, has more than enough worries and problems, enough to make her head spin. She urgently needs to make peace with her best friend, get rid of piano practice lessons, and convince her parents to buy a new scooter. She also has to find out who of the boys wrote a romantic note, where to look for a missing dog of a rare breed, and figure out how to help her friend make peace with his grandmother.

And besides, in the world there is so much interesting—especially when outside it’s spring, classmates are waiting in the yard, dad returns from a business trip with treats, and mom allows leaving the found dog at home.
