Joasia loves walking with her friends around Warsaw's Śródmieście. Every novelty in the shop window is thoroughly discussed, and a crumbled huge lollipop is fairly divided among all the friends. The girls observe the capital rebuilt after the war and track down the bellies hidden in the gates. They discover that the Marszałkowska Street they know is completely changing its face. In place of favorite shops, huge warehouses are frightening, and beloved stallholders have been replaced by saleswomen who do not see anyone, least of all children. Joasia has a vague impression that a woman as cold as ice had a hand in it - the Ice Power.

A story about Joanna Papuzińska's small homeland, a land that has undergone transformations like all of Poland.
