About This Book One of the most popular Ukrainian illustrators for children, Kateryna Shtanko, has almost left the painting. The true connoisseurs of her talent are desperate! How can it happen? What is the reason? It is hard to believe, but the reason is really wonderful: Kateryna Shtanko has recently found her new vocation - writer‘s work. Instead of illustrating works of other people, she decided to create her owns. And the most incredible thing is that she at once wrote an entire fairy story!
An 11-year-old pupil from Kyiv, which is fascinated by biology, accidentally creates a dragon, what abruptly changes his life...
This charming book is a thriller and a parody of thriller, a little fantasy and a kind of James Bond-story with many cognitive aspects to the same time. Furthermore, Kateryna Shtanko has, of course, illustrated her first novel herself.
