What should younger students read

1. "How the rope twisted. Fairy Tales", Evgeny Klyuev

LLC "Kit‑Subscription editions"

Evgeny Klyuev is one of the most famous modern storytellers, his plays are being performed in theaters around the world. He makes up stories in which familiar objects come to life: a string, a kitchen faucet, a sandwich, shoelaces or a Turkish carpet. And every time it turns out that this is an allegorical story about one of us.

Of course, the string from the book did not wind like everyone else. Who has ever seen all the strings wind the same way? But few people think about this, it's just that every string will one day find out that it can't go on like this.

2. "A heart cut out of cardboard. Fairy Tales", Evgeny Klyuev

LLC "Kit‑Subscription editions"

If you look at it with a familiar adult look (like, for example, a Bay Leaf disappointed in everything), then all the heroes of the Kluev fairy tales are a Heart‑The cut‑out is from‑Cardboard, an Absent—minded Air Kiss, a Soap Bubble, a Paper Bird ‑ somehow not very real. Dreamers who have nothing to do with real life, that's all.

But Yevgeny Klyuyev will not be an expert in absurd humor, if it is true! In his fairy tales, everything begins with sadness, which stereotypes generously instill in us. But life is much more unpredictable and diverse than any of them. And the wise Coffee Mill knows about it — and readers will know about it.

3. "Matilda" by Roald Dahl

LLC "Labyrinth."

Roald Dahl, who is called the number one storyteller in England, came up with a girl who became a symbol of reading children all over the world. Is Matilda really a child prodigy? No, of course not. She's just a lonely kid who once found support in books. Dahl, with his trademark irony, masterfully plays the drama of "painfully smart" — and turns it into a fabulous detective story.

4. "Quartet tales", Nina Dashevskaya

LLC "Labyrinth."

If a child is engaged in music ... however, even if not, he should read Nina Dashevskaya's fairy tales. Being a musician herself, Dashevskaya knows this world from the inside. That's why stories about how people meet their instruments sound so true. And how difficult it is for a quartet to play, in which everyone is so different and does not yet understand each other. And about the fact that we are surrounded everywhere by music.

5. "Girls. Seven Fairy Tales", Annette Schap

LLC "Kit‑Subscription editions"

Seven of the most famous plots of old (not) good European fairy tales in Annette Schap's book finally sound true. Schap is a master of Gothic stories. The habitually sweet plots turn out to be completely different from what they seemed.

Cinderella, Goldilocks, Little Red Riding Hood, sisters, one of whom becomes Bluebeard's wife, Sleeping Beauty — all these are archetypes. Each of these stories will actually end well, but not quite the way we're used to.

6. "Winged Sandals", Maria Papayanni

LLC "Kit‑Subscription editions"

The little Rose was raised by Dad. On the outside he is a fisherman, but on the inside he is a poet! And now Dad's bookish soul is in great turmoil — Rosa needs to be released into the real world somehow. But she lives in a world of fairy tales, novels, myths and legends.

Of course, dad put a lot of effort into building it for her. But what is the world of books worth without connection with the present? Reality and fiction are so famously intertwined in this amazing story that they cannot always be distinguished.

Maria Papayanni builds the plot around the myth of the Tower of Babel. They are preparing to fight here — and all because of some disappearing languages.

7. "Uncle Montague's Scary Tales", Chris Priestley

LLC "Kit‑Subscription editions"

The boy Edgar hurries to his uncle late in the evening through a very suspicious forest. What can you not do when your relative knows how to tell scary stories! Uncle Montague is also very suspicious. There is not a single normal object in his house, and according to his stories, sometimes it seems that he himself was once a participant in them.

Chris Priestley expertly refers readers to the classics of horror stories. The names of the characters and the plots are constantly reminded of familiar books. And yes, the name Alan is not accidental here — it is an allusion to Edgar Allan Poe. You don't have to persuade teenagers to fall in love with the classics you grew up on at all costs. One day, curiosity will win. For this, Chris Priestley, in fact, started his horror quest.
