Lisa Goes to Russia

Noel Streatfeild

Lisa's father, who worked on a newspaper, was going to Russia. And what could be better than that Lisa, who was nine, should go too? For she could easily stay with her Russian cousins in Moscow. imagine Lisa's surprise when she and her father arrived at the Russian cousins' flat and discovered that the nine children and their parents all lived in two small rooms! How lucky that Olga was soon to be married, and what fun for Lisa to go to a Russian wedding. It was lucky too that Grisha, who was also nine, went to the English speaking school and he became Lisa's very special companion during her stay.
