The girl Janis is 12 years old, and a real disaster happened in her family: her older brother Zak, closer to whom she has no one in the world, got in touch with a bad company. On the day when Zak stole the money saved for attractions from Janis, it seems to the girl that it hardly makes sense to expect something good from life … But at that very moment Gloria Al appears nearby — an old circus performer with a grumpy character and a bag full of lemon caramel. If you can imagine Pippi Longstocking in her old age, then, probably, this will be Gloria Al. Together with a naughty cat named Mr. Al, the old woman, it turns out, lives in the same yard with Janis! Swedish writer Kanni Meller created in this book a whole world populated by eccentrics and inventors, who would be great to make friends at any age.
