About the author

Many popular Russian writers did not have a special literary education. Lyudmila Ulitskaya, for example, is a geneticist. Alexandra Marinina is a lawyer. And Guzel Yakhina, who recently thundered with her novel, is a linguist by education. Therefore, it is not surprising that metal engineer Svetlana Lubenets writes popular books for teenagers.

The writer was born in the city of Kolpino, where she later studied, worked and wrote her books. After university, she worked for several years in the plant's laboratory. But after appearing onIn the light of children, Svetlana began to compose fairy tales, one of which she wrote down, and later this fairy tale was published in print under the title “Adventures in a Kettle”. Everything related to children seemed so interesting to Svetlana Lubenets that she abruptly changed her professional activity, replacing a lab coat with chalk and a teacher's pointer.

For more than ten years she worked as a teacher of Russian language and literature at the Kolpino school, creating wonderful children's novels and stories along the way. The editors of the Eksmo publishing house liked her works, and thanks to this collaboration, the writer was able to create her best books for teenagers. She also tried herself as an author of women's novels and now successfully collaborates with two publishing houses: Eksmo and Tsentrpoligraf, where she published under the pseudonyms Svetlana Demidova and Marina Volskaya. Currently Svetlana Lubenets lives and works in Kolpino.

Purple Fairy Baubles

Another book about a “not like that” girl who protests against the cruel world and misunderstanding in it. Ksyu wears strange hairstyles, and her clothes are far from official style.

Ksyu Zolotareva finds a person who is close in spirit, who helps to understand that people are much more multifaceted and interesting than their appearance can show.
