An ordinary person runs like that when he's late for a train. And for Ignat, it's a normal speed. The most important thing is on roller skates or on a scooter. It makes you feel more connected to the world, and everything in it is interesting: people, the city, music, books... everything. And Ignat has a lot of thoughts about it. Their own, not occupied by anyone. But he doesn't like to share them, and he doesn't have anyone to share them with, so who can keep up with him? Although everyone loves Ignat. He figured it out by accident somehow‑ amazing, right? But it turns out that he still doesn't catch up with a lot of things. For example, that he actually has a friend. And more than one. Or that some people are seriously going to devote their lives to helping other people... it's okay, he's not slow, he'll catch up. In general, yes, sometimes a scooter angel needs to rest. The novel "I am not a brake" by the writer Nina Dashevskaya, already well known and beloved by readers for the books "Near the Music", "Willy", became the winner of the children's book contest "Kniguru" in 2015.
