About the book: 2024 / One winter morning in the laboratory of "microbe hunters" the "little man" Tonka Korolek appeared and, embarrassed, droned a Basque child who wants to become Leeuwenhoek and discover his microbe. Several times he was politely shown out the door, asking him to grow up. But every morning Tonka-Levenguk quietly “sneaked” into the laboratory, squatted in the corner and watched everyone for several hours. The boy turned out to be attentive and unusually memorable. And soon he became a useful member of a group of microbiologists consisting of two candidates of science and graduate student Elizabeth. How did Tonka have such a dream, where did he come from and then disappear, did he manage to discover his microbe - this is in the story.
