Ephraim Scott is 16 years old. He lives in the small town of Summerside with an alcoholic mother, is in love with a girl who does not notice him, and his life is boring and unremarkable. Everything changes when the corpse of a man incredibly similar to Ephraim himself is brought to the local hospital. Among his double's belongings, Scott finds a mysterious coin that can grant wishes. A throw - and his mother gets a prestigious job, and forgets about alcohol forever. Another throw - and the one he dreamed of turns her attention to him. It would seem that Ephraim now holds the key to the whole world, but the coin has side effects. By fulfilling wishes, she simultaneously changes the world around her, often destroying other people's lives. The coin can give its owner anything - but can he learn to control its power before his luck runs out? Winner of the 2012 Andre Norton Award, finalist for the Compton Crook Award and the British Fiction Award for Best Debut, one of the best novels in the genre teenage science fiction - for the first time in Russian.
