Sum up the summer holidays with a Book Festival: "BACK TO SCHOOL" is coming (Trailer)

For the second time, on the eve of the school year, reading-loving children can enjoy a bookish summer day in Yeraz Park and be among the first to discover new publications. The festival will feature the presentation of three new books and one song from the "Yeraz" series. In addition to literary events, there will be a musical program with classical and pop performances. The festival is open to all children who love reading.

A year ago, newmag introduced a new children's series. At the beginning and end of the school year, the publishing house brings contemporary and classic literary works to the market for children and parents. These books are written in clear language, with colorful illustrations and a special font, and are intended for specific age groups.

The "Yeraz" series now includes 10 books. On August 24, at "BACK TO SCHOOL", book lovers will have the opportunity to attend the presentation of three new books. One of these is the second book in Jeff Kinney's Diary of a Wimpy Kid series, titled Diary of a Wimpy Kid: Rodrick Rules.

"Rodrick Rules" describes how Greg tries to navigate the challenges of high school, impress girls, and avoid participating in school performances. However, Greg's most important task is to protect his secret.

Another book is based on the Soviet and post-Soviet era film Electronic Adventures. This story follows a brilliant scientist who creates a humanoid robot named Electronic. Electronic escapes from his creator and meets his "twin," a Moscow schoolboy named Sergey Siroezhkin. Electronic becomes Sergey’s friend and assistant, attends school in his place, and completes assignments. When the mafia learns about Electronic, they plan to kidnap him, leading to many funny and dangerous situations.

Yevgeny Veltistov, a Soviet writer and screenwriter who graduated from the Faculty of Journalism at Moscow State University, first published his science fiction book Adventures of the Electronic in 1964. The book was adapted into a three-part film in 1979, with the script written by Veltistov. In 1982, he received the USSR State Prize for his work.

"Yeraz" has also Armenianized the famous song from the film, "The Winged Swing," which will be premiered at the "BACK TO SCHOOL" festival. Students from "Mihran, Arpi Studio" will perform the song.

The third new book is The Last Outpost by Cecilia Heikkilä, a Swedish graphic designer who often references animals and nature in her children's picture books. This captivating book explores themes of longing for a place one has never been, finding a home in the woods, and the bond between a grandfather and a grandson.

On August 24, the festival will feature various events across three different zones in the "Yeraz" park. Guests will be welcomed by the park's favorite characters and escorted to the Green Zone, where the festival’s main partner, "Dobry" juices, will host a welcoming booth. In addition to educational and fun games, book lovers can enjoy a special juice treat.

Special guests of the festival will include students from the "Orran" charity organization, who will also perform musical acts. The publishing house has prepared a surprise for them.

All books in the "Yeraz" series will be available for purchase at the festival with discounts of up to 40%. The co-organizer of the "BACK TO SCHOOL" children's festival is "Yeraz Projects," the main sponsor is VTB Armenia Bank, and the main partner is "Dobry" juices.
