The curious Varvara

Ten-year-old Varvara Smorodina is a true prodigy, an extremely intelligent and well-read girl. She knows everything about criminology and dreams of becoming an outstanding detective like her grandfather. "Curious!" is Varvara's catchphrase. When she visits her grandparents in the village of Verkhovoy for the summer, she encounters a series of mysterious crimes and embarks on investigations alongside her new friend, the simple-minded village boy Vasya. At the outset, Varvara must deal with a mysterious scarecrow that comes to life at night, scaring the local children.
