About the book: 2019 / Where is the border between fairy tales and reality, loyalty and betrayal, childhood and adulthood? Freshman Lada still finds it difficult to distinguish childhood fantasies from prosaic reality: she needs to kidnap an elephant from the royal Elephant, win rejuvenating bananas from the demon Adramellekh, but not be thrown out of the University and simply survive in a cruel metropolis. Perhaps the strange symbols painted on the fence of the city park are not hooligan graffiti, but the key to solving all the mysteries. If you want to check, let's play ok? Cover design by A. Stolyarov, photo from the archive of A. Ivchenko.
