Suddenly, the air in the classroom turned cold. The illustrations on the pages began to rise like 3D holograms. A tiny, glowing spruce tree sprouted from the center of the desk, and a miniature brown bear—no bigger than a ladybug—shook its fur and let out a silent roar near the margin of the page.

Sasha was busy looking at page 49, where they had to classify different types of mushrooms. "See what? I'm just trying to remember if a fly agaric is a producer or a decomposer."

Maxim and Sasha shared a secret smile. The glow had faded, but as Maxim closed his book, he could have sworn he heard the faint rustle of leaves coming from between pages 48 and 49.

Working together, they frantically scribbled the definitions for "Atmosphere" and "Hydrosphere." As they finished the last sentence, a wave of blue and white light swept across the desk. The miniature world stabilized, creating a perfect, tiny forest right on their workspace.

"Look!" Maxim pointed. The food chain they had drawn was literally moving. A tiny hawk circled the "Consumers" section, eyeing a grasshopper sitting on a penciled line.
