Vasilkin will go to the board! School stories of Dima Vasilkin, a student of class 3A

"Children should be smarter than their parents," Mom used to repeat. But I can't be smarter! And here's a C in the quarter, in Russian. It's ruining the column of Bs and A's! It's unfair: I write well, I once wrote a whole book about a nimble monkey. And then another story about how I lost my schoolbag. And about Liza Komarova's horrible, nasty birthday. And more, more... Okay, let's take everything in order!
My name is Dima Vasilkin, I study in the third "A" and I constantly get into funny stories. Not all of them, however, seem funny right away - like, for example, when Kostik and I got stuck at his house until the very night. But I still love such stories - it's a pleasure to tell them later! And the only thing I don't like is: "Vasilkin will go to the board!" - the words that our teacher Svetlana Alekseyevna says every day. Why is that? Do I really not have enough adventures without this "to the board"! Judge for yourself!
Dima Vasilkin does indeed have quite a few adventures: he and his friend come up with the funniest April Fool's prank, he decides to learn to play the guitar by New Year's, he experiences first-hand what the expression "a weight off my shoulders" means. He writes down all these cases in detail in a notebook, and they all teach him some kind of lesson - one of those that you would never get during "real" lessons.
Victoria Lederman's new book is a collection of instructive and funny stories from the life of a third-grader, which are built into a single "novel in stories", gradually revealing the hero to the reader. However, the reader knows this hero well: Vasilkin is so similar to any nine-year-old schoolboy! Victoria Lederman writes easily and captivatingly. The writer manages to create a truthful and memorable image - as she did in her previous books, which became real hits ("May Calendar", "First-Year Student", "Only Eleven! or Shury-Mury in Fifth "D"", "There Will Be No Lessons!").
