I mean, J.K. Rowling maybe my role model, but I would like to read Tanya Grotter. J.K. Rowling also has to read "The Young WIzards Series" by Diane Duane. She might find it interesting.

I would like to read Tanya Grotter too, but I dont know any russian but 2-3 word, where can I get an english translation? Or maybe a german translation, then I can use it to refresh my german.
