A girl named Polya was misbehaving. The Petrov family would have preferred to raise a good girl. And on New Year's Eve, their cherished wish came true: the bad girl Polya was left behind, and in her place, the Petrovs were given a new, well-behaved, and neat girl. But a complete stranger. And Polya was sent to be re-educated in a very clean, proper, and scary place, where children eat only healthy food, love cleaning, and do everything according to schedule. 'The Land of Good Girls' is a kind of children's dystopia. This country doesn't exist on the world map, and its borders are locked. Only the loyal dog Balbes can sniff out the path leading there. And only the heroic ginger cat Baguette can cross the boundary between the past and the present to save his beloved mistress. After all, Baguette is no ordinary Moscow cat, but a descendant of powerful ancient kotlans. And in 'Catlantis' he will have to accomplish one more
feat: to travel into the distant past and get hold of the magical Catlantean flower, which in the old days gave cats nine lives.

Two fairy-tale adventure stories for children by science fiction writer Anna Starobinets are written in a modern, engaging language, and subtle humor coexists in them with serious reflections on love and meanness, loyalty and cowardice, about the fact that good is often wrapped in unattractive packaging, and evil - in a gift, elegant and shiny.
