Seven is a serious age. At seven, a child must decide: should they go to school or head straight to work? Seven-year-old Ms. Mary Utkina was set on finding a job — first as a veterinarian, then as an astronaut. However, the animal clinic told her she must finish school and university first. And as for a tiny spacesuit, she was still too small for that. So, Marya had no choice but to agree to go to school. Ahead of her lay huge, life-changing events, but with one month left before the school year began, there was still time for adventure. A month filled with new friendships, bike rides, snowball games, secret agent missions, and, of course, endless trampoline jumps — because you need to jump enough for a lifetime before school starts. After all, by the time you finish school, you might feel like a little old lady! This book is full of humor, warmth, mischief, and most importantly, love and support — something we all need.
