Books for teens without magic that help to live

MOSCOW. The children’s jury "Kniguru" chose the best book for teens.

Against the background of respectable literary awards with a significant prize fund, “Kniguru” resembles an inquisitive teenager looking out from behind the backs of goliaths of Russian literature. But after all, a competition was created with a funny name that crossed a book with a marsupial mammal, to promote teenage literature. There is a need for it, and considerable. Having passed a long-term course of magic and enchantment with Harry Potter, children need literature that is as fascinating, “tasty” written, and reflecting their real life. Even the most talented are very reluctant to take it. Readers who are in deep puberty are fastidious, poorly digesting falsehood, mentoring, and lisp. Finding the right intonation, words, themes is extremely difficult. Having touched on the most acute, really exciting topics, you need to do it carefully, positively, leaving hope for the possibility of solving any problem. Not every teenager is able to turn to a psychologist for help, not everyone has the opportunity to discuss the pain with wise adults who understand everything. A good book can be a good outlet and adviser.

The fate of the prize is decided by those for whom these books are created: a schoolboy aged 10-16. For the second year in a row, the Knigur jury has given preference to Nina Dashevskaya. The winner is behind the conservatory, and not at all the Literary Institute. The main place of work is the Children’s Musical Theater. Natalia Sats, where she plays the violin and gaining impressions, from which her books are then born. The last time, the victory was brought to her by the book “Near Music” on how to use it not only to please your hearing, but to radically and for the better change your life. And Dashevskaya knows for sure that there are no children incapable of music. the main thing is to find the right tool and not discourage the desire to be creative. Dashevskaya’s new story “I am not a brake” is dedicated to the hyperactive boy and the diary, which he keeps on, tirelessly surprising adults with his thoughts. The story should go to the publishing house "Scooter".
