Миссия Лучшая подруга

Princess Пандекраска Пампернелла is eleven years old. She has almost all she could want, but no best friend. She has her own bodyguard. Someone writes her life story. She changes outfits each day, shoots a bow, and fences. Yet none of this can take a friend's place.

An app helps her pick three girls she might befriend. They live in Mongolia, Ireland, and India. She must meet all three before she can choose. The trip holds surprises. It also asks what makes a friendship real.

This tale of growing up is for readers aged ten and up. It blends adventure and mystery. It explores friendship and the search for one's place in the world. It mixes fairy-tale touches with modern life. It uses gentle irony and treats young people's inner lives with respect.
