Waking up one morning and finding yourself living the days in reverse order is more than just Groundhog Day! Sixth-grader Gleb Elizarov simply scratched the date "May 23, 2013" into an ancient wall—and with a couple of his classmates, he traveled first to May 22nd, then to the 21st, 20th, and 19th. Gleb, who recently transferred to a new school, the lazy straight-A student Yura Karasev, and Lena Zyuzina, who's bogged down in household chores, see some positives in the repetition of yesterday and the day before yesterday's events. You can rewrite a final test, avoid a fight with a bully, or even spend all your pocket money on a treat without a twinge of conscience—after all, in the morning, the bills and coins will be back in your wallet! But the further students get from May 23rd, the less hope they have of returning to the future—and how can you erase an inscription you'll only make a week later? A trip to an archaeological find supposedly related to the Mayan civilization becomes the beginning of an adventure for three children, a story that won't convince any adult. Or will someone finally believe them? Victoria Lederman's debut novel, "The May Calendar," was an immediate success: the children's jury of the V. Krapivin Children's Book Competition awarded it a special prize (2014). The author masterfully shows how the characters of boys and a girl, outcasts and egoists, change under the influence of a common misfortune. The fantastical episodes combine to create a true coming-of-age story, captivating and not overly moralistic, while many details of the characters' lives make the book's world familiar and relatable to any teenager.
