About the author.
Being a molecular biologist and interested in biology very early in my life, I also like to write fiction stories. Writing was my hobby as early as when I was seven years old. Even before then, I made up stories in my imagination that I did not write down. But later, many of those ideas were developed and put on paper. Immigrating to America, getting PhD and having children were those times when my story writing pretty much came to a halt, and when I resumed, I realized that I could probably re-use some of my old ideas and write the stories in English. The book you just read is one from the series of stories about the World of the Unknowns, whom I imagined when I was a child. It is, in fact, a fourth time the story was written, the first three versions being in Russian. As I was getting older, the characters and the story line changed, but the idea behind who the Unknowns were, always stayed the same. After coming to America, it took me some time to adjust and to learn the new culture and the differences in the mentality of the people of the two nations. I assume, since I did not grow up here, the way children act in my American version of the story may not be accurate, and I apologize if it is the case. However, I hope you enjoyed the story and are looking forward to reading other books of this series.
