This collection includes two stories. "A Very Scary Story" was written on behalf of sixth grader Alik Detkin. Alik imitates the "tall," as it seems to him, examples of adventure literature, therefore, in the form of "A Very Scary Story" - a witty parody of a detective story. Alik sometimes speaks pompously, in such meaningful phrases: he thinks that in this way his first story will become similar to "real" detective works.
